The Inbetweeners: Simon dresses like a prat...

Oh dear... not again Simon! Copyright E4

They really should consider renaming The Inbetweeners 'Simon's fashion disasters' as this week brought us another comedy gem courtesy of this fine young fellow.

First there was the unfortunate ball hanging out of speedos incident, then last week it was all about his Pete Doherty hat and this week... well, they dressed him up to look special.

Literally, he looked like he couldn't coherently put an outfit together; tight shorts, a checked shirt- complete with bow tie- a tight bright pink cardigan and to finish off the look, some thick black 'geek chic' glasses.

At least he had the sense to look very uncomfortable in his new get up, hilariously helped along by the very gay shop assistant deciding to take photos of him, to show how his 'creation' had come to life. Lol.

I didn't find last night's offering as funny as the first two episodes of this new series, but I think I'm on my own if you look at other reviews out there.

There were some genuinely hilarious moments though- Jay falling off a motorbike and into an open office door, Will dumping Kerry in the worst way possible and Simon swearing like he's got tourettes to Tara's swearing-hating parents are just a few that spring to mind.

Next week looks set to be a blinder as well- I can't believe we're already half way through this series. Guys, I salute you and your uncomfortable adolesence that continues to make me pee my pants each week with laughter.

The Inbetweeners Fashion Watch: Simon's Hat

Simon's Hat has won me over! Copyright E4

There were many funny incidents on last night's Inbetweeners, more so than last week even, but for me the whole episode could not of survived without the appearance of Simon's trilby hat.

Trying to bag a new girlfriend, Simon thought that channelling Pete Doherty would be a good idea and make him cool.

But as usual, I thought Will had it spot on with his summarisation: "It was the night of Simon's date with Tara and to mark the occasion he dressed like a dick". Lol

I loved his dad's take on it too- "what's that on your head Simon?"- almost as much as Simon's sarcastic response: "Oh yeah, it's a hat! Obviously...god!"

His reactions to whenever his parents probe him are absolutely hilarious. He overreacts in a way a small child would and is more moody, in my opinion, than any teenage girl.

Onto actual events and this was the night our boys experienced pot for the first time.

For Will it meant erratic arm movements,for Jay it meant paranoia, for Neil, well he just fell asleep and in Simon's case, he made tiger noises and snogged a girl who had just been sick on his shoe.

Ahh, yes the sick girl as she will now be known. Tara, played by Hannah Tointon is a very welcome addition to the cast, and someone who actually likes Simon, so hopefully his stalking days are well over. Carli who?!

Eagle eyed viewers will recognise Hannah from her ill-fated Hollyoaks stint, you know where she played Warren's very annoying sister?

Yes, she much better suited here playing a grubby rock chick. Roll on next week when our Romeos score a double date. I Literally can't wait...
