The first episode is mostly about setting up the characters, but features such a ridiculous parade of teen hi-jinks that you can almost imagine the writers ticking things off a checklist - drugs, booze, sex, etc (an actual checklist appears at one point - a self-referential gag perhaps?), and contains more Cook (and more of Cook's arse) than you'll be able to stand. Look out for: Freddie skateboarding over a dog turd, Ardal O'Hanlon spectacularly miscast as a depressed lecturer, the reappearance of Sid's copy of "Asian Fanny Fun" from the first series and a Welsh bloke farting through a megaphone (I'm not joking). It looked like a work experience student had written it and made the first two series look like Dennis Waterman's "New Tricks" by comparison.

But I've warmed to it :)
