Joe Thomas

The last-but-one slice of cult student comedy. Kingsley (Joe Thomas) is forced to fulfil his idle daydreams about being a musician when his girlfriend signs him up for an open mic gig at the student union. Josie (Kimberley Nixon) tries to keep her gambling addiction a secret and Vod (the superb Zawe Ashto) joins a famous poet for an all-night bender - with unexpectedly tragic results.

This student comedy adroitly captures the awkwardness of university life and is backed by A-grade performances from its terrific ensemble cast. In tonight's episode Kingsley (Joe Thomas) gets interest from a slick oil executive at the college careers fair, sparking the dour Howard's (Greg McHugh) anger. Meanwhile, JP (Jack Whitehall) comes up with some clueless money-making inventions ("a tank-copter - you basically put helicopter blades onto a tank") and Oregon's (Charlotte Ritchie) internship is scuppered by the advent of an acid-tongued rival.

Threesome review: Series 2, episode 1

Threesome, everyone's favourite Ménage à trois-based comedy is back, with a whole sack of one-liners, a bed-full (three, appropriately) of top class guest stars in the shape of Bill Bailey, Robert Webb and Joe Thomas, and a first episode that delivers laughs, even if it did leave the plot and characterisation at the sorting office.

Radio Times review

The 32nd best TV show of 2011 according to the Radio Times.

This comedy from the creators of Peep Show was an ever so slightly more grown-up, self-assured successor to The Inbetweeners. It even starred an Inbetweener: actor Joe Thomas playing yet another gaffe-prone, luckless-in-love student. And like its puerile younger brother, Fresh Meat had both teens and their middle-aged parents guffawing at the misadventures of its protagonists, six gauche undergraduates. Side-splitting moment? Swaggering public schoolboy JP (stand-up comic Jack Whitehall, proving he's adept at more than one-liners in his first acting role) bonding with a dying horse after over-indulging.
