I'm calling it, 10 years time there will be another series


If Open all hours can have another series 20 plus years on, ditto birds of a feather

I would love to see the inbetweeners when the boys are older and have families

The premise could be getting ready for a school reunion

I'll take more episodes of this after any time frame, so long as it retains the quality of the show and not the movies.. lol

My worry would be that it wouldn't be any good.

Part of the humour of this show is that the characters in that show was so well observed. I recognise all four of the main characters. At school, I was with at least one person that resembled each other four main characters.

Would watching grown-ups act like that still be funny? A grown man acting like Jay for example would be weird, almost depressing.

that was the problem with the 2nd film - actually it was one of many problems! - they would have been in their 20s in the timeline of things, and seeing Jay still acting like that was weird and almost depressing. Especially when they all seemed to have shown some maturity and character development in the 1st film.

It's also the problem with things like SATC and Bridget Jones - the whole point of them was that the characters were in their 20s/early 30s and were still discovering themselves, hadn't settled down yet etc, like a lot of people that age who have big city careers, city centre apartments etc. It was relatable.
Seeing them in their late 40s and 50s still behaving like grad students - just no.
