The Juicy bit

E4 have a new show set to hit our TV screens this following October (If all goes to plan and the dates don’t change)

What is this amazing new show I hear you ask?

Well as the title above suggests it’s called DRIFTERS, written by and starring Jessica Knappett (known for her role as Lisa in the inbetweeners movie). Drifters is a witty and fast paced show which I would say is on par with comedy styling of shows such as the inbetweeners and Miranda.

The show is based around a group of 3 girlfriends Meg, Bunny and Laura who’s time at university has come to an end and they have now moved back home to try and make their way in the working world.

The hitch – it is not that easy as they find themselves taking on meaningless jobs just to make ends meet of course throughout the show there are comical moments that ensue as well as relationships that evolve as we watch our 3 girl grow as characters and develop along the way.

Exclusiveness

I was lucky enough to see the pilot and go on the set during one of the final days of shooting and I can assure you that the chemistry that we see on screen is just as real and amazing in reality. The cast and crew are all on the top of their game I even got a few minutes to meet and chat with Jessica herself (who is by the way a genuinely lovely person) when I informed her of what hit series I compared Drifters to she seemed delighted and took it as a compliment (we also briefly discussed how she’s a fan of made in Chelsea but let’s just leave that be and get back to her show) After meeting her I can say without a doubt if this show is as big of a hit that I predict it will be that Jessica thoroughly deserves it.

As well as Jessica I also got a brief conversation with the producer (Sam Pinnell) who informed me of how hard the entire cast and crew has been working (which shows in the final material)

To finish of I have to say that I cannot wait for Drifters to air. In fact I can’t for the inevitable season 2!

So Guys keep an eye for the adverts and remember the name DRIFTERS it bound to be one of E4s biggest home grown hits to date.
