A worthy successor to The Inbetweeners ... the best programme about students since The Young Ones Daily Telegraph on FRESH MEAT I never thought I'd enjoy reliving the abject horror of my student days quite as much as I have Guardian on Fresh Meat ***** A superbly crafted comedy hit Observer on Fresh Meat ***** Brilliantly observed ... An excellent cast Heat on Fresh Meat A first-class opening episode ... Fresh Meat's characters may be a year older, but thankfully, JP, Kingsley et al are showing no signs of evolution ... a witty, sordid delight Metro on Fresh Meat (series 2) Fresh Meat is back and celebrated its return with a magnificent running joke about old meat. Howard started working at the local abattoir and is jubilant at the main perk of the job: "It's spare meat. from the loose meat bin... It's all right. It's from animals." ... I'm so looking forward to the new term Independent on Fresh Meat (series 2) ***** The first successful comedy about students for almost 30 years, and judging by the second series opener, it could easily be sustained for a long time yet ... If Jack Whitehall shone during the first series, he positively dazzles here; the boy is clearly destined for Hollywood, or rehab, or both. But his is not the only strong performance; each and every member of the cast is so wondrous that watching Fresh Meat feels like being privy to something special ... Fresh Meat is for anyone who has ever gone to university, and not just for people who happen to be there now. It's also well-crafted, poignant and very, very amusing - let's hope we don't have to wait another 30 years for something just as good Telegraph on Fresh Meat (series 2) A comedy that's actually funny. It could catch on Guardian This book's main purpose is to encourage having a laugh, but, like the best laughs, it is based on facts that ring true Evening Standard
