Fresh Meat - The Complete Series 1-4 Boxset
From the award-winning creators of Peep Show, Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, and starring Jack Whitehall (Bad Education), Joe Thomas (The Inbetweeners) and Robert Webb, comes Fresh Meat.
Series 1 follows a group of six students about to embark on the most exciting period of their lives thus far: university. Away from home for the first time, on the brink of adult life, they are about to discover who they really are. From the moment they ship up as freshers at their shared house, their lives are destined to collide, overlap and run the whole gamut of appalling behaviour and terrible errors of judgement.
They are: JP (Whitehall), public school boy with good teeth and an inflated sense of entitlement; Kingsley (Thomas), charming, loveable and crushingly insecure; Josie (Kimberley Nixon), overly enthusiastic, determined to experience new things, however bad they are for you. Then there s socially awkward and know-it-all Howard (Greg McHugh); straight talking, hard-living Vod (Zawe Ashton); and finally Oregon (Charlotte Ritchie), desperate to be cool and terrified of being boring.
Series 2 sees the sextuplet return to Manchester Medlock University for a new term. As they continue to face the challenges of student life, they welcome a new flatmate, a Dutch woman called Sabine (Jelka van Houten).
Series 3 sees the gang begin their second year. As they continue to face the challenges of student life, they meet new fresher Candice (Faye Marsay). Meanwhile, Josie has moved back to Southampton to take a zoology course.
Series 4 sees the 'finals countdown' on and the end of university life drawing ever closer. JP worries about his future following a visit from his brother, Vod is fixed in the present as she grapples with debt. Oregon is Student Union President and busy planning her legacy, whilst Kinglsey finds himself in an unconventional relationship. Josie is still languishing in second year and facing up to the prospect of a final twelve months in Manchester without her delightfully odd housemates. Howard, who had been on course for a first class degree, gets some unexpected news which sends him spiralling.
Thrown together as housemates they are on the brink of adult life and about to discover who they really are.
