Beaver Falls

This new comedy is sort of what The Inbetweeners would be like if they went to US summer camp - only it's nowhere near as funny. Flynn (Samuel Robertson), A-Rab (Arsher Ali) and Barry (John Dagleish) are three British chancers who arrive at a California camp with, variously, a broken heart, weed and an insatiable sex drive. Predictable encounters with the usual array of jocks and fat kids follow.

Promising culture-clash comedy about three British chancers who blag jobs at a Californian summer camp. Flynn (Samuel Robertson), A-Rab (Asher Ali) and Barry (John Dalgleish) are about as different from their fellow camp leaders as could be. The humour comes from how the trio adjust to a world of jocks, babes and discipline. Their adventure begins less than happily when they are asked to look after the camp misfits.

Three British boy-men spend their gap year following their erect penises around a summer camp for gorgeous bikini-clad girls in California. The women open condom packets with their teeth. The boys remain permanently in a trance. And the fat kids are caricatures, humiliated and bullied, even by their seeming allies. It's the most dreadful, reductive, depressing, one-dimensional, enervating thing to sell to teenagers. The vaguely heart-warming moments feel repulsively cynical and the dialogue is insulting to absolutely everyone. Poor show. Seriously, Beaver Falls?

Coming Soon: Beaver Falls, E4

E4 have a brand new comedy-drama on the way, which they're hoping will replicate the success of The Inbetweeners. Beaver Falls is the story of three British friends-Flynn (Coronation Street's Samuel Robertson), A-Rab (Four Lions' Arsher Ali) and Barry (Lark Rise To Candleford's John Dagleish) - who graduate from university and decide to travel to the US for a carefree holiday working for an elite summer camp called Beaver Falls, full of beautiful and rich Californian teenagers.
