'Inbetweeners' movie in the works?

Simon Bird has hinted that an Inbetweeners movie could be on the horizon.

Speaking at this year's TV Quick & TV Choice Awards, where the E4 series was crowned best comedy show, the 25-year-old actor remained coy when asked if a film could be spawned from the television series, but confirmed that it is something the cast would love to do.

"I don't know - we're not allowed to say. It's not up to us. I mean, that's obviously a yes!" he said.

Blake Harrison, who plays Neil Sutherland, added: "There are loads of rumours going around about different things, but whether anything actually happens is a whole other story. We have loads of fun doing a series, so I think a film would be just as much fun."

Asked about possible storylines for the movie, Bird concluded: "I don't think we can give anything away. But there has been talk about [a film]!

"I'd like to see Will finally pop his cherry! Just more of the same, I think. If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

'Inbetweeners' writer confirms movie

Inbetweeners writer Iain Morris has confirmed that a movie of the show is in the works.

Speaking exclusively to DS, Morris said that a script has been written, but they are yet to receive funding for the project.

"We've written a film script because for me, the most defining experience of an 18-year-old boy is when you go on your first holiday with your mates," he said. "That would be exciting."

He added: "I don't know how films work - I've never made a film before. We're written a script so we're just hoping Film4 will say, 'Here's the money, here's the helicopter, now go to Tenerife and film it!'

"I think there'll probably have to be a few more conversations before that happens!"

The Inbetweeners returns for its third series in 2010.

'Inbetweeners' Bird for new E4 pilot

Inbetweeners star Simon Bird has signed up for a new E4 pilot called Friday Night Dinner.

The comedy project, which also stars Tamsin Greig, Tom Rosenthal and Paul Ritter, centres on the Goodman parents and their sons Adam (Bird) and Jonny (Ritter) who go round to their parents' house for Friday night dinner.

The pilot has been written by Robert Popper, whose writing credits include BBC’s Harry & Paul and The Peter Serafinowicz Show.

He has also script-edited for IT Crowd, Peep Show series five and six and The Inbetweeners and produced series three and four of Peep Show.

I think if it's done in the same manner as most good british films are (i.e based a good story, maybe a school trip etc) then it would work but nothing fancy, nothing unbelievable. The joy i find in the show is that it reminds me of my school days where nothing was out of bounds or to rude to do/say.

It's a shame they are milking what was such a good series!

I think a film could milk it a bit but only if it works as I said it could be a 90 minute awesomefest or it could be a 90 minute crapfest :p

Blake Harrison has hinted that The Inbetweeners may come to an end after its third series. (Digital Spy)

His co-star James Buckley was recently quoted as saying the cast are "too old" to continue playing their respective roles, sparking reports that the show may not continue.

Speaking exclusively to DS, Harrison did little to dispel the rumours, suggesting that a fourth series "would be quite contrived".

"As far as I'm aware for the next series we're moving into the upper sixth and it would be incredibly contrived to have them all at the same university so it depends how long the third series spans for.

"If they span it for just a term or two maybe there will be another series but if they span it for the whole year I think it would be quite weird if there was another series. They wouldn't all end up at the same uni - obviously - so it would be quite contrived."

Sorry, but I wouldn't see a problem with them being in Uni.

Would be a bit weird I think, all 4 at the same University. I think Will would annoyed that Neil got into the same University as him...

I think it should end on this rumoured movie.

Head promises "funnier" 'Inbetweeners'

Emily Head has claimed that the third series of The Inbetweeners is the funniest yet.

Head, who stars as Carli D'Amato in the comedy, told The Mirror that she doesn't expect much romance in the show.

"How much romance can there be with those four boys, really?" she said.

"There's going to be a lot of swearing, as always, a bit of the boys getting naked, again, always fun, and pretty much the same that we've had before, but funnier, I think - I think this series is definitely funnier."

Head also revealed that she wants to make a fourth series of the programme.

"It kind of depends how long they want to have a span of the series," she said. "I'd like to think we've got another one in us, but it may be the end - we're not sure."

Blake Harrison has previously suggested that a fourth series of The Inbetweeners would be "quite contrived".

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
