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.

    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod.
