Here we go with the "beloved" nonsense again. The show was non-funny
garbage, although not as bad as inane drivel like "The Young ones".
There are lot of far better old UK comedies around.



Beloved British Sitcom To Return 15 Years After It Ended
--------------------------------------------------------
A beloved British sitcom will make its long-awaited comeback
after 15 years. The revival ushers in a new era for the hit
comedy. It reunites the original creators and teases fresh
adventures for its unforgettable characters.

The Inbetweeners to return with its original characters
The Inbetweeners creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris have
confirmed the comedy's return after more than a decade. Fudge
Park Productions partnered with Banijay UK to "pave the way
for the return of the hit comedy." In a joint statement, the
two said, "Incredibly exciting to be plotting more adventures
for our four favourite friends (ooh friends)" (via The
Independent).

According to Banijay UK, the new agreement unlocks rights "to
bring The Inbetweeners back for new audiences across a range
of platforms including film, TV, and stage." Banijay UK CEO
Patrick Holland said he was "delighted to pick up the
conversation about the future of The Inbetweeners." He added
that the creators' "infectious creative vision for the brand"
will connect with both longtime and new fans.

The original E4 sitcom aired between 2008 and 2010. It
followed four friends: Will McKenzie (Simon Bird), Simon
Cooper (Joe Thomas), Neil Sutherland (Blake Harrison), and
Jay Cartwright (James Buckley).

The show became a cultural phenomenon and won a BAFTA Audience
Award. It also inspired two hit films, The Inbetweeners Movie
(2011) and The Inbetweeners 2 (2014). Together, the films
grossed over u100 million worldwide.

Fudge Park's managing director, Jonathan Blyth, said, "We are
thrilled to announce this exciting partnership with Banijay who
share our vision and ambition for one of the most iconic
comedies in British history." He added that "exciting
conversations are afoot and more news to follow."

Joe Thomas recently confirmed that the cast is open to
reuniting, though the format of the revival remains uncertain.
He said the team has discussed "a stag do in Las Vegas" as a
possible premise.
