I am utterly, utterly depressed right now. BBC Three is going down the toilet. They cancel Pulling, but are happy to give this show an extended-length new series... what the hell are they playing at?!?
Sad fact is, it appealed to the demographic the BBC is obsessed with appealing to, and it picked up an audience that stuck with it.

Danny Cohen has pretty much ruined BBC Three. He has commissioned some absolute tosh. What must go through his mind at times?

They'd have been better off with Leonard Cohen.
I can't believe Danny Cohen is the same guy, who at E4, comissioned Skins & The Inbetweeners. Two really good programmes.

I wonder with commissioning how much is skill and how much is luck?
It seemed to have some good viewing figures. It makes sense they'd pursue more episodes.

Can't argue with that. The Nuremberg rallies were comparable with 'The X Factor' in terms of popularity.
I just got the following email regarding tickets for the forthcoming series.
"When it hit BBC Three screens last year Coming Of Age was a world first for TV comedy - a sitcom about teenagers created and written by a teenager. It followed the adventures and misadventures of five friends - Jas, Ollie, Matt, Chloe and DK whose lives revolve around college, their bedrooms and, because they are always getting thrown out of the local pub, Ollie's garden shed.
Now their back for a second series still trying to navigate their way through their bumbling college lives and burgeoning sex lives. Often rude, often puerile but always very funny it's the teen sitcom that wears it's heart on it's sleeve.
Written and created by Tim Dawson when he was just 19 years old, this second series returns for an extended run and once again he promises to raise the bar when it comes to outrageous comic moments."
So is it any good?
(Runs and hides!)
And I get really irritated by spelling mistakes in publicity material. "Now their back." Aaron - sort them out.
It's much along the lines of Two Pints. If you like that, then it's good. If you don't, then it's not.
And I also noticed those typos and cringed.
I also got the email and then the email which corrected the dates incorrectly! Unless July 24th really is a Monday?
Boobies!!
It's crap. Watched one episode where they were doing 'anal'. It was pathetic. No, actually, that would be an insult to pathetic programs. It hit rock bottom with sitcoms and went further. Rock bottom actually has a false bottom!
My thoughts: it was badly written, acted alright-ish and the canned laughter (was there any? Was it so crap even the studio audience wasn't laughing?). I shall never commit such a crime to my eyeballs again! I've banished it from my TV along with Two Pints, Ideal and crap like Lab Rats or whatever it was called. God help comedy.
Watched a bit of this once, to see what I thought. Now I don't like Two Pints much but it's Shakespeare next to Coming Of Age 
I second that. Please don't put Two Pints in the same lowly category as this tripe! Two Pints is practically laugh out loud, wet yourself, die laughing humour compared to C.O.A.
It's all crap. BBC Three = crap comedy.
