On Twitter, Iain wrote, “I’m not going to comment on the AmericanInbetweeners a lot because I have to use Twitter for more interesting things like complaining…

”Brad [Copeland], the showrunner, is a very funny man who has worked on Arrested Developmentand My Name is Earl, two shows I love.

Since the first official trailer for the US version of The Inbetweeners was released – which you can see by clicking here – American fans who are faithful to the UK original version have angrily lashed out about the remake.
The trailer first aired on Monday in the States, and as TV Biz reports, it “went down as well as Neil’s Sausage & Egg McMuffin-scented farts in Simon’s car.”
Websites that featured the clip of the MTV show were swamped with negative comments, including, “America needs to stop making copies of class British shows! First Skins and now this!? STOP IT!”
And another angry Inbetweener fan wrote, “THIS LOOKS HORRIBLE! The British version was terrific but it was British humour with British actors and it should have stayed that way…” Read more & comment »

That report came from the Daily Star, and was supposedly based on what actor James Buckley had told the paper, but last night, the show’s co-creator, Iain Morris, angrily denied the story, tweeting “[It’s] ‘total b*llocks’…”
He added, “for those that care, the last time james was in the US was my wedding last year, so the story is either a; v old or b; totally made up.
“the thing about the daily star story is that people are getting excited, and now we look [like] a**eholes by just maintaining our position.”

With the internet ablaze with rumours that The Inbetweeners is set to make a come back but with only 3 of the original characters, Paddy Power has opened the betting on which of the cast members don’t make the fourth series.
Unfortunately for fans of dopey Neil, Paddy Power make him the favourite for the trapdoor at odds of 6/4 followed by Spikey haired Simon at 7/4. Compulsive liar Jay looks to be safe at 11/4 while show protagonist Will is an unlikely 7/1 not to feature.

The Inbetweeners star Blake Harrison has – very annoyingly – revealed that he’s struggling to gain weight for his new role as a recovering alcoholic in stage play, Step 9 of 12.
Skinny Blake – who’s also starred in The Bill, White Van Man and Bleak Old Shop of Stuff – who played the role of Neil Sutherland in The Inbetweeners, said, “I’m trying to bulk up a little bit for it so I’m eating three hard-boiled eggs and pasta for breakfast every morning.
“I’m sure my cholesterol is through the roof, but it’s good fun.”
And of the comedy drama play, which debuts in London’s Trafalgar Studios in May, Blake said, “It’s something very different. It’s playing an ex-alcoholic who’s asking his foster parents over so he can ask for forgiveness…
“And he’s had a very violent past, so that’s not strictly a comedy.
“So it will be a nice thing to do for me after doing so much comedy after the last few years.” Read more & comment »
