According to the publication the second instalment is set to be quite different than the first film which saw Will (Simon Bird), Simon (Joe Thomas), Neil (Blake Harrison) and Jay (James Buckley) holidaying in Greece after their exams, as this time they will be heading down-under for a spot of backpacking, reportedly!

Inbetweeners fans brace yourselves, James Buckley has hinted that a reunion might be on the cards after all.

The actor, who plays compulsive liar Jay in the hit show along with Simon Bird, Joe Thomas and Blake Harrison, had always been the adamant one that, after the film was released, there would be no going back to the side-splitting Channel 4 series.

Simon Bird and Joe Thomas, who of course star in The Inbetweeners, have revealed that the success of the show, and its spin-off movie, is a “double-edged sword” since they now fear anything else they do may not be as successful.

And specifically, Simon and Joe were referring to their new roles in ‘Chickens’, a comedy they co-wrote with Jonny Sweet, the pilot episode of which airs this Friday.

Speaking to What’s On TV, Simon said, “The Inbetweeners has opened a lot of doors for us.

“But at the same time, it is a double-edged sword because [Chickens] is obviously going to be judged in relation to the Inbetweeners – which is unfortunate because we want it to be judged on its own merits.” Read more & comment »

Two of the stars of The Inbetweeners, Joe Thomas and Simon Bird, are about to headline in a new Channel 4 comedy entitled ‘Chickens’.

Set in World War One, Joe and Simon play the roles of two young men who chicken out of fighting for their country when war breaks out…

And as the two of the only three men left in their village after military call ups, they have to fight off the attentions of local sex starved ladies! Read more & comment »

Simon Bird has admitted that it was almost impossible to film scenes for the ‘Inbetweeners’ movie, because the fans wouldn’t leave them alone.

The 26-year-old actor – who plays Will McKenzie in the risque E4 teen comedy – revealed that when filming in Malia on the Greek island of Crete, fans created scenes of ‘carnage’ and turned out in such big numbers that it became practically impossible for the crew to work.

He said: “We filmed in Malia in May and I think it just proved to us that we had to come back in winter because it was basically impossible to get anything done.

The Inbetweeners star Simon Bird has admitted that fans often shout insults at him when he goes out in public.

The 26 year old actor, who is currently working on a big screen version of the hit E$ BAFTA winning comedy, told The Sun’s Buzz Magazine that he doesn’t mind the heckling, because it’s all “affectionate abuse.” Bird said:

For the Goodman family, Friday Night Dinner is just like Sunday lunch: just take two days away, add on an extra course and you’ve pretty much got it. This new Channel Four comedy is written and produced by Robert Popper, whose combined credits as a writer/producer/script editor include Look Around You, Peep Show, South Park, The Inbetweeners, Him & Her, The IT Crowd and many more iconic series of recent times. Robert has a mum, a dad and a brother and it would be fair to say that any resemblance between them and the Goodman Family featured in the show is entirely intentional.

‘Inbetweeners’ actors Joe Thomas and Simon Bird have revealed that they have already started work on a new comedy.

The young stars – who play Simon Cooper and Will McKenzie in the Channel 4 series – will begin shooting a pilot for ‘Chickens In May’, which follows a group of outcasts left behind during World War I, later this year when they have completed the movie adaptation of ‘The Inbetweeners’.

Joe explained: “We’ve had it written for ages. It’s pretty different to ‘The Inbetweeners’ – it’s a historical comedy set in the First World War. It’s about the outcast men left behind.
