James Buckley gives major update on 'mad to turn down' The Inbetweeners reunion

Fans could be finally getting what they want: a The Inbetweeners comeback after James Buckley shared that he'd be ‘mad’ to turn it down.

Oh, how the UK public have been waiting for this since 2014 once The Inbetweeners 2 film had been and gone.

We’ve had so many laughs with the iconic comedy series that it’s hard to pin down a favourite scene.

Could it have been when Simon spray painted his love confession on Carly’s driveway?

Or perhaps when Neil beat a fish to death in a very tense and chaotic boating trip gone wrong?

Or even when Will decided that lying horizontally on top of a woman and flopping about (a little like that fish) constituted as a good dose of coitus?

Naturally everyone is eager for Buckley to reunite with Joe Thomas (Simon Cooper), Simon Bird (Will McKenzie) and Blake Harrison (Neil Sutherland), although Bird has previously said a reunion would be unlikely.

However, Thomas previously shared that there were talks about getting back together so this is a good sign, people.

Buckley told The Sun: “It’s no secret that would be the most profitable thing I could go into right now.

"I do have children, I do have a family, I do have bills, and sometimes you’ve got to take that into consideration, just as a practical thing, a boring, dull, provider of a family thing.”

He continued: “All that stuff I do think about and what’s great is I know, if four of us boys get together — and (writers) Iain Morris and Damon — and we all have a little chat and we said ‘Shall we go again?’

"I know it would be greenlit straight away.”

However, times have moved on now and perhaps some of the jokes that got away with it last time might not be as tolerated today.

So, would it still work?

To this, he told Headliners: “My argument is men never grow up, I still find The Inbetweeners funny.”

The best thing about it is that if they bring back people that we loved seeing in the original show, it would be like the last ten years never happened and all was right in the world.

Freddos were still an acceptable price, houses weren’t as extortionate and some of us were still blissfully in school or college without a care in the world.

While it’s something for the cast to think about, the writer and producer, Damon Beesley thinks there’s something that might stop it from happening.

Speaking to the outlet in August, he shared: “We’d need to be convinced there was a strong enough idea creatively but if there’s enough interest out there for a new Inbetweeners adventure, you never know.”

I can tell you now, Damon - there’s more than enough interest from the British public and anyone who doesn’t agree is a bus w**ker.
