Fresh Meat	comment	Fresh Meat is a British comedy series from the creators of Peep Show that aired on Channel 4 for four series between 2011 and 2016. The show centres around 6 students attending university in Manchester who miss out on accommodation in halls and so are forced to share a house together.Hilarity Ensues.The main characters are: Kingsley, a Dogged Nice Guy with a crush on Josie, who isn't as innocent as she appears; Howard, a social recluse with only a slight grasp on normal human behaviour; Vod, Deadpan Snarker Lad-ette and self-proclaimed slut; Oregon, a pampered-yet-sweet-but-also-neurotic girl trying to escape her privileged upbringing; and JP - affluent but a bit of an idiot, who tries far too hard to impress those around him.

Fresh Meat / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: The "freak out" episode has JP fish out a couple of shotguns when he's planning to defend the house against the people his mother intends to sell it to. Not only do he and Vod proceed to wave them around in a decidedly irresponsible manner for the rest of the episode while everyone gets steadily drunk, but JP then reveals he once shot a man accidentally on a pheasant hunt. In the end, the trope is subverted — nobody gets shot. In the burglary episode, Al the handyman gives JP advice that JP gives to the second handyman at the end, involving bolts, screw blades and socket heads. From the same episode, Sabine suggests that they could look for their stolen possessions in a skip. Josie is seen doing this in the final scene and find's JP's father's urn, much to her relief, before accidentally spilling the ashes out of it.

In series two, he loses out on an invite to the BP dinner with Howard and Vod, but turns up anyway and actually gets in: Inverted in series three.

Fresh Meat / int_27a42ebc	comment	Spiritual Successor: To The Inbetweeners. Joe Thomas plays more or less the same character in both shows, at different stages of higher education. Fresh Meat can easily be thought of as "Simon's adventures at uni" (whereas Will has gone into writing advertising jingles.) In terms of premise and characters, the show has a lot of similarities to Community, in that it's an ensemble cast comedy set at an institution of higher learning, featuring a Deadpan Snarker who puts in as little effort as possible most of the time (Vod & Jeff), a somewhat robotic introvert with possible Autism Spectrum Disorder (Howard & Abed), a Team Mom who doesn't understand the difference between being sweet and being nice (Josie & Shirley), a deeply neurotic overachiever who wants to make a difference but goes about in unproductive ways (Oregon & Annie), and a clueless rich guy who just wants to be included (JP & Pierce). Functions as a spiritual predecessor to Bad Education, which some fans see as JP becoming—of all things—a schoolteacher.

This is taken up to eleven in seasons 3 and 4, where education takes such a backseat that you'd be forgiven for forgetting what the protagonists are even studying, and the character arcs almost never intersect with anything education-related. Then again, eventually most of the group's final grades are pretty mediocre.

The song playing during the scenenote Carina Round's "Backseat" underscores the mood, describing relationships that "should have been forever" but are now just memories from one stage of your life. Anyone who's lost or is losing contact with friends they hung out with daily in college can feel this scene hit hard.

JP later does the same thing when Tomothy gets drunk and makes unwelcome moves towards Josie. Tomothy has good reason for trying to set JP up in a job in London, in that JP is lazy, has bad habits and poor career choices. However, he does go the wrong way about doing it.

Throughout the series, most of her endeavours wind up failing in one way or another, and her few successes are revealed to have been orchestrated by her ex-lover Tony Shales. Meanwhile, her romantic relationships fail more spectacularly than those of any of the other characters.

JP's awkward reaction ("That woman is clearly delusional") after Vod's mum spills his inability to, erm, lift the drawbridge turns pretty quickly to her flying into a drunken rage, destroying both the kitchen and her relationship with her daughter.

Sabine, who became a new room-mate at the start of series two due to a misunderstanding everyone was too socially awkward to sort out. She knows she's disliked in the house, and this is not helped by the fact she dislikes the housemates and gives up attempting to talk to them after a few episodes. She's got a friend in Howard though, after they become "fuck buddies" at least. Howard tends to be better-received than JP is, but even the other housemates are often put off by his occasionally bizarre behavior, and Josie admits near the end of Season 4 that she can usually only tolerate him for a few minutes at a time. Also, nobody is interested in his suggestion of living together in London.

One of the band names Oregon comes up with is "Time Bandits". Kingsley reads The Game (2005) at one point. His new trilby, facial hair and (attempted) dismissive attitude towards women are also references to the pick-up artist subculture. While Vod is being counselled she gets angry at the therapist, which leads her to say this; "Are you not getting this? I mean, I'm giving you everything! This is fucking 'We Need to Talk About Vod'! Many shout outs in season 3, episode 7. Howard mentions Minecraft when talking about hosting a LAN party, and many famous characters are costume-referenced at Candice's H' character' party, almost none of them explained (except for Kingsley, who is obviously'' George Harrison.

The chorus of Kingsley's protest song, about a lonely military drone over Tunisia: "Well if androids dream of electric sheep....do drones dream of electric peeps?"

Revealed in the first season finale that he was around the whole time and had a mental breakdown because nobody ever noticed him, hence him leaving the house. Series 2: Ph.D student Sabine, who is older, foreign, and more introverted than the rest. Only Howard forms any kind of relationship with her (although Josie becomes her friend in the next series) and she moves out before the series' end. Series 3: New fresher Candice moves in and, unlike Paul and Sabine, she becomes a true Seventh Ranger, joining the group on various clubbing nights, house parties and pub crawls. Vod's temporary husband Javier also becomes the Eighth Ranger for a while at the same time! In series 4, Candice is Put on a Bus, the room is finally left vacant and the group returns to the original group of series 1.

Vod's attempt to call her out on it ("You're a shit mother." - she really is) results in Chris flying into a drunken rage and wrecking half the house. Who can blame Vod for burning everything that reminds her of her mum or her childhood afterwards? Tomothy, JP's older brother. He cheats on his wife with Oregon and later tries to do the same with Josie, who isn't interested, mocks JP's (admittedly ridiculous) career ambitions and attempts to emotionally blackmail him when JP refuses the job Tomothy set up for him. By the way, all of that is basically emotional abuse. After said blackmail, JP decides he's had enough of Tomothy. The Stowe-aways, JP's posh acquaintances, are unrepentant assholes with basically no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
