Reno 911!

What with Skins finishing tonight, you may feel like your Thursday nights will turn into a dull and empty void, filled only with Newsnight and Two Pints of Lager repeats on BBC Three.

But thankfully we've compiled a killer line-up of funny stuff, so you can avoid all that dross on those other channles. Starting Thursday, April 2nd, get your LOLs out for...

  • 10pm: The Inbetweeners returns for a second series, starting with a school field trip that begins with a quest to pull girls but of course ends in disaster.
  • 11.05pm: Double bill of Reno 911! every week. It's our totally bonkers, comedy cop show. It blows my mind.

Bon appetit!

Davina chows down in Dead Set

A couple of E4 shows have been nominated for BAFTAs today. Our Big Brother zombie-fest, Dead Set, has been shortlisted for Best Drama Serial, alongside another Channel 4 series, The Devil's Whore.

The Inbetweeners is up for Best Situation Comedy, in good Channel 4 company alongside The I.T. Crowd and Peep Show (fine shows, but of course we'll be rooting for The Inbetweeners). You can see the full list of nominations on the BAFTA website.

In other awards news, Skins is up for a Rose D'or for Best Multi Platform. We need to thank you guys for this, because the enthusiasm you pour into the Skins website helps make it such a killer multi-platform show. Damn, we love you guys!

Remember, Skins ends this Thursday at 10pm (*sob*), but a second series of The Inbetweeners starts at the same time the following week, on April 2nd (*Yay!*).

The Inbetweeners is back on 2nd of April!

Will (Simon Bird)

There, we finally said it. That's like, TWO weeks away. Can't wait.

We've started to spruce up The Inbetweeners website, so keep your eyes on it over the next couple of weeks, as we add more and more new stuff.

Will you be attending DEV FEST?

It'll be like Woodstock, only in your living room, with no hippies... and about telly. Ahem. Three classic Anwar-friendly Skins episodes featuring Dev Pattell, Saturday 14th of March, from 9pm.

Get the crisps and dips in!

BTW, if you haven't already read it on our Skins blog, a fourth series of Skins has been given the green light for next year. Yip!

Sorry Donald, there's no catch-up for your show this year

Tripp Darling (Donald Sutherland)

We've recieved many comments and emails asking why the new series of Dirty Sexy Money isn't available on Channe4.com Watch Online (catch-up) or 4oD.

We're also sometimes asked why some shows are available to watch on demand, while others aren't. With all programmes, we have to acquire special rights in order to show them on demand and in the case of the second series of Dirty Sexy Money, we weren't able to acquire them. Sorry folks.

If you're not able to catch the show on Sundays at 11pm, it may be repeated again later this year.
