Further details
It's dissertation time, and while Vod is having a last-minute wobble about her abilities, Oregon has her mind on other things as the newly non-funded wheelchair rugby team are protesting against her presidency.
Josie is having an identity crisis, taking the drastic measure of rebranding herself. Desperate to run away from the reality of her life, Vod decides to retreat to an anarchist commune, with Oregon and Josie tagging along.
Meanwhile the boys head to London. Kingsley is feeling positive about a job interview with a radio station; JP is off to "collect his job" at his brother's firm, and Howard is determined to familiarise himself with the city before he goes for his Ordnance Survey interview.
When nothing goes quite to plan for any of them it seems like life outside of Hartnell Avenue in the real world might be a bit too much to handle.

Urgent Getaway
Vod arouses suspicion amongst the group.
Press
The final round of Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong's comedy has been all about moving onwards, upwards and hopefully not downwards, as the six housemates approach graduation. JP and Kingsley take the coach down to London for interviews, the former on the way to his brother's company, the latter headed to the hallowed ground of 6Music, while Howard tags along in order to scope out the local environs of Ordnance Survey. More perfectly pitched comedy and perfectly pitched drama from this exceptionally good series.
