Fresh Meat has been picked up for a third series, according to star Jack Whitehall.

The actor and comic - who plays posh buffoon JP - told Shortlist that the Channel 4 university comedy will return.

"We've just had a third series commissioned, so that's great," said Whitehall. "I don't know how many [episodes] they plan to do, but I love doing it."

However, Whitehall also voiced his dissatisfaction with Fresh Meat's time-slot on Tuesday nights at 10pm.

"I just wish it had a better slot," he admitted. "Students will find it, but it would be nice if it got more of an audience who don't know about it, and I'm not sure it will get that on Tuesday night after Jewish Mum of the Year."

Penned by Peep Show writers Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, Fresh Meat follows six students who live in a shared house in Manchester.

The second eight-part series started airing on October 9 on Channel 4 and is set to conclude this Tuesday (November 27).

Good news. This show is getting better and better.

I agree about the timeslot. Then again Channel 4 seem to be putting things in weird timeslots. New series of Peep Show is on a sunday! I believe they did this with Friday Night Dinner too.

I agree, 8 out of 10 Cats shouldn't be on Mondays

For some reason you have to actually watch this on the 4oD website. The Xbox 4oD app tells me the content is unavailable, the Android app shows the content however refuses to play it and it appears the XBMC 4oD plugin no longer works.

 

Oh well I watched it on my PC in the end and enjoyed it, some very funny moments! I never expected to see another series of Fresh Meat :)

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
