   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 £100 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.
