Meh - have heard pro and anti Inbetweeners.
One of the teachers said it's only funny if you're 19, another said that she and her husband wept with laughter regularly, another that she found it amusing but not complulsively so.

It's been an award winner here, but I admit I've never watched it. I often feel guilty when a programme goes on to international acclaim and I've just not bothered (being more interested in books than TV generally). So it's kinda reassuring when I'm reminded that not "everyone loves it".

Monte Carlo or Bust made me laugh out loud - not bad when I usually laugh with my mind not my belly. Very like the recent BBC Three Men in a Boat and spin-offs therefof - obvious comparison given that it features Rory McGrath and is narrated by Griff Rhys Jones.

I take it back re Penny Smith. All the participants seems to have rudimentary (or better) French, but she is apparently fluent. And she works well as Rory's foil. I'll tell you a secret... shhhhhh... I really fancy Rory McGrath, and have done since Chelmsford 123

If you meet him, don't say anything.

It made me howl with laughter at some parts and cringe with embarrasment in others. sadly, it definitely deteriorated by the series.
