Just been reading over at Wikipedia, apparently season 3 is meant to start Thursday 17th June. Hopefully this is correct..

I guess someone has since changed what Wikipedia was saying:

The third series started filming in April 2010, and took approximately six weeks to complete. It has been announced that it will be broadcast sometime in September.

This seems more likely if they did just finish filming the third season last month. A bit more of a wait there. :(

Simon Bird has reportedly refused to sign a contract to appear in the upcoming Inbetweeners film.

The actor - who plays Will McKenzie in the comedy series - is said to be holding out in the hope of receiving more money for the role.

However, Bwark Productions have planned to go ahead with the project without Bird, according to The Sun.

"The movie is definitely going ahead. It will start shooting in Malia, Crete later this month and then from November onwards," a source said.

"Simon's agents at Avalon won't accept the offer that Joe, James and Blake have all said they'd accept. So Bwark are moving on without Simon to pretty much call his agent's bluff. They sent out casting notes last week to show they are serious."

The insider added that Bird's plan may backfire if a better-known actor signs on to the role.

They added: "Simon's agents have always tried to push him as the star of the show and everyone's fed up with it. If some high-profile young actor won the role then Simon won't be in the film.

"Avalon will have to come crawling back to accept the offer. It's sad, but he has kind of shafted himself."

'Inbetweeners' exec denies film dispute

The Inbetweeners co-creator Iain Morris has dismissed reports suggesting that Simon Bird will not appear in a film version of the series.

It was previously reported that Bwark Productions were considering replacing Bird for the forthcoming movie, due to a dispute over the actor's pay.

However, Morris told a fan on Twitter: " wouldn't believe everything you read."

He added: "You can see photos of the lovely Simon Bird when I was with him yesterday."

A third series of The Inbetweeners will air on E4 later this year, with the film adaptation expected to follow.

Simon Bird 'agrees to Inbetweeners film'

Simon Bird has signed up to appear in the forthcoming Inbetweeners film, it has been revealed.

Bird, who was rumoured to be holding out to secure more money for the role, has begun filming in Malia, Crete this week, reports The Sun.

The 26-year-old is said to have accepted the role after programme makers Young Bwark Productions failed to meet his pay demands and put out a casting call for another actor to play the part of Will McKenzie.

A source said: "The original cast are all back together for the Inbetweeners film and have started work on the movie over in Crete.

"Simon is back on board and everyone's happy. He had to come back with his tail between his legs when the producers refused to bend over and concede his demands.

"As soon as the call went out for another actor, he decided to do it. Luckily for him, there was still lots of good will on the set and he is brilliant at the part."

The show's co-creator Iain Morris recently rubbished suggestions that there was any dispute between Bird and producers.

The Inbetweeners film will focus on Will's summer holiday abroad with friends Jay, Simon and Neil. Filming in London begins in November.

:D

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
