Fresh Meat Summary

Fresh Meat: The Essential Guide for New Undergraduates/the Future Unemployed by Jesse Armstrong

This title is the ultimate companion to Fresh Meat, written by Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain. What's the secret to JP's sexual prowess? How does Howard beat the buffet every time? What does Vod really think about drink, drugs and Salman Rushdie? And will Kingsley's diary spill his true feelings for Josie? (hopefully not as stomach-churning as Oregon's sext messages with Professor Shales...). Edited by Oregon, and with contributions from all of the housemates, this is a real guide to student life - the one the preachy brochures and prospectuses don't tell you about. From moving into a student house to fresher's week, from choosing courses to choosing friends, the book records every detail - hilarious, sordid, poignant and triumphant - as the young ones stumble through university life. A scrap book of diary entries, manifestos, diagrams and guidelines it includes: JP's weekly shopping list and first Hollywood screenplay, Josie's student recipes for 'Munge' (and 'Chunge'), Vod's literary criticism and hangover cure, Howard's James Bond fan-fiction and guide to the anatomy of a cow, Oregon's literary erotica and personal rejection of her Cambridge rejection letter, and Kinglsey's band reviews, poetry and critique of the university Ultimate Frisbee Society. Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain are British comedy writers, who met whilst studying at Manchester University. They have collaborated on acclaimed television comedy shows such as Smack the Pony, Peep Show and That Mitchell and Webb Look. They have written two films together, Magicians and Four Lions and Jesse Armstrong also co-wrote the BAFTA winning The Thick of It and In the Loop. They jointly received the Writers' Guild of Great Britain award at the British Comedy Awards in 2010. Fresh Meat is their latest sitcom and won Best New Comedy at the British Comedy Awards in 2011.

Fresh Meat Reviews

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
