With its witty lines, engaging characters and multiple plot lines, Fresh Meat promises to be a lively, younger follow-up to Peep Show.
From the creators of Peep Show, Channel 4’s new comedy-drama Fresh Meat follows a group of six students about to embark on the most exciting period of their lives so far – university.
Yesterday we went along to University College London for the launch of Channel 4’s Fresh Meat, the latest offering from Peep Show creators Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong.
Joining the gang in the Olympic Deliverance Team this week is Dave Wellbeck; an athlete who won two consecutive silver medals at the Olympics in the Noughties.
After a so-so second episode, the latest “mockumentary” from the BBC delivers another fine blend of sitcom antics, character studies and catchphrases. Oh, and the “reality” of the 2012 London Olympic Games.
After an opening episode that some felt was disappointing, given the quality of the writer and cast, it’s a relief to announce that the second instalment of Twenty Twelve is very much up to the high comic standard of John Morton’s previous work.
Slipping out with little fanfare, oh the irony, is a new “mockumentary” (no, stick with us) from BBC Four following the Olympic Deliverance team as they prepare London for the big event in 2012.
