Synopsis:

From the award-winning creators of Peep Show, Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, and starring Jack Whitehall, Joe Thomas (The Inbetweeners) and Robert Webb, Fresh Meat is Channel 4's latest comedy drama series. The series follows a group of six students about to embark on the most exciting period of their lives thus far - University! Away from home for the first time, on the brink of adult life, they are about to discover who they really are. From the moment they ship up as freshers at their shared house, their lives are destined to collide, overlap and run the whole gamut of appalling behaviour and terrible errors of judgement. They are: JP (Jack Whitehall), public school boy with good teeth and an inflated sense of entitlement; Kingsley (Joe Thomas), charming, loveable and crushingly insecure; Josie (Kimberley Nixon), overly enthusiastic, determined to experience 'new things', however bad they are for you. Then there's socially awkward and know-it-all Howard (Greg McHugh); straight talking, hard-living Vod (Zawe Ashton); and finally Oregon (Charlotte Ritchie), desperate to be cool and terrified of being boring.

Five new students arrive at Manchester University to share a house. The girls are the sweet-natured Josie,aggressive Vod and Oregon,who is anxious to appear ultra-cool. The boys are J.P.,an ex-public school type who failed to get into a 'proper' university and tends to look down on people and kind-hearted Kingsley,off the leash at last after years of caring for a sick mother.

Whilst Oregon continues her affair with Shales at the local Travelodge Josie discovers that Kingsley is a virgin and offers to help him lose his cherry.

JP makes a rash promise to his old Stowe class-mates that he will supply them with drugs but finds himself increasingly reliant on nerdy Howard to actually deliver the goods and Vod,rather than copy Oregon's essay, for a change reads an entire book and is very impressed - though she still...
