By the creators of The Inbetweeners - saw the first episode on BBC2 last night then watched the rest of it on iPlayer today.
Anyone watch it?
On the whole - although it is based on Premiership football - actually very little football. Typical Inbetweeners style with hands over your face type awkward humour, and some good laugh out loud bits... though on the whole probably not really that good but I still managed to get hooked. Football is a very hard thing to make a comedy out of as it just ends up a bit of a caricature of itself.
Anyway, QPR link - I believe Iain Morris is a QPR fan? Definite QPR nuggets in there anyway - there's one scene in the fifth episode where the team is in the dressing room and you can see where they have the players names on the top of each dressing room bench...included in the names are "Tarabt" and "Bankole". Not sure if the "Tarabt" is a deliberate misspelling by the producers!
There's one scene where they say goodbye to a long serving manager thats filmed at The Valley, and some outdoor bits at the Olympic Stadium. |  | | |  |

Watched the first episode last night. Hoping the second episode may illicit a smile, perhaps even a chuckle. If it’s anything like the first I won’t get my hopes up. Dreadful. |  | | |

Yeah the two main producers of the inbetweeners are big football fans Morris is the QPR fan the other is an arsenal fan |  |

And Henry Lloyd-Hughes, who played school bully Mark Donovan, is also Rangers. |  | | |

Overall, no,but there are some funny bits in each episode.
Certainly not a classic and I'll be amazed if there is a series 2. | | | |

Didn't realise the QPR link but thought it was shockingly bad. Didn't even finish the first episode. Lots of lazy stereotypes. | | | |
