The Inbetweeners cast share reunion photo ahead of 10-year anniversary special

The Inbetweeners cast have shared a photo from the set of the upcoming two-hour anniversary special.

James Buckley (who played Jay on the show) shared the image of himself – alongside Joe Thomas (Simon), Simon Bird (Will) and Blake Harrison (Neil) – on Instagram.

The shot was taken from within Simon’s infamous yellow Fiat Cinquecento Hawaii, and was posted alongside the hashtag #inbetweeners.

The Inbetweeners was first broadcast on 1 May, 2008 and ran on E4 for two seasons. The series achieved the channel’s highest ratings ever and spawned two spin-off movies.

The cast teased a reunion earlier this year after posing for a photo together during a meal to mark 10 years since the show started. Harrison denied rumours they would be getting back together for another show: “I just don’t think it would work, I think we’re too old now”.

“I think the reason it was so funny was you had these idiotic, ignorant, lads that you let them get away with saying things that would be quite offensive but as they get older you can’t excuse it, I think.”

The anniversary special will see the characters reminisce about the events of the series, with previously unseen behind-the-scenes clips and surprise guests.

Tom Beck of Channel 4 said: “Will, Jay, Simon and Neil spent years failing to sneak into the best parties, so I’m very pleased to throw one that they’re definitely invited to. I just hope Will brings his Mum.”

The special does not have a broadcast date.
