Personal development | What can HR learn from The Inbetweeners reunion?

The British sitcom TV series, The Inbetweeners, made an eagerly anticipated returned to our TV screens in the New Year. However, many fans felt that this reunion episode was a grave disappointment.

The programme – which follows the calamites of a teenager Will and his three friends who all attend Rudge Park Comprehensive school – has been a popular programme for many years.

And, last week, the cast of The Inbetweeners finally re-joined forces for a New Year’s Day special – The Inbetweeners: Fwends Reunited – where co-stars faced a rather awkward reconciliation. While they were undoubtedly well acquainted with one another when working on sets in the past, this episode’s awkward assembly failed to slip under the public radar unnoticed.
