Latest BBC Shows I've Been Watching This Week

Drifters
Plebs
Friday Night Dinner 

Drifters is pretty much The Inbetweeners if The Inbetweeners were  1. girls  2. not funny.  I’m sticking with it however since the main character (who also created & writes the show) is the girl to your right

So.

Plebs is The Inbetweeners if The Inbetweeners was 1. set in ancient Rome  2. more interested in being outrageously dirty than funny. It has it’s moments, but mostly I spend the entire time thinking the main guy is doing an impression of The Inbetweener’s Simon Bird…

…who is in a show called Friday night Dinner with, ta-da, the guy from Plebs who’s doing an impression of him. I like Friday Night Dinner because Simon Bird and Mrs. Xmastime Tamsin Greig (Black Books, Episodes) are in the cast, and it’s very low-key with a minimal set of characters in each episode.

Basically these shows are easy to watch but you’re better off just watching The Inbetweeners. And hey - Series 4 of Fresh Meat is finally on Hulu!!!
