On July 18 2010, lead cast members of hit E4 sitcom, The Inbetweeners (Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, James Buckley and Blake Harrison) took to the stage of Latitude’s Film and Music Arena for a BAFTA interview with Rick Edwards.

Popular comedy series The Inbetweeners, about the experience of four teenage boys growing up in suburbia, first aired in May 2008. Two years later the show won the YouTube Audience Award at the British Academy Television Awards, an honour that the actors identify as one of the greatest achievements in their careers.

In this exclusive Q&A session, the cast reveal the childish banter, dares and mischievous behaviour that take place during filming and discuss acting out the numerous risque story lines - from walking around Thorpe Park in a pair of y-fronts to punching a fish to death!

It’s not pretentious or clever. It’s just trying to be funny and hopefully it does that...

The foursome reveal how they began acting, their audition processes, and how they eventually ended up staring in the show. Joe Thomas goes on to explain how the writers have now developed the parts to reflect each actors' real life personalities and the group reflect how they have become extremely familiar their character's behaviour, reactions and the unique group dynamic.

Watch this BAFTA at Latitude interview with The Inbetweeners cast for a playful insight into how the show is created and what to expect from Series 3 and beyond.
