From romantic comedy, Gavin & Stacey, to cult favourite, Being Human, BBC 3 has evolved into a great breeding ground for new comedy, many moving on to the larger channels and a mainstream audience .... after last night's opening episode, however, I'm not convinced that new teen-comedy, Pramface, is destined to go down as one of the greats ...
Whilst the channel's commissioning website sets the captive audience at 16-34 year-olds, I suspect this latest offering, following the aftermath of a teenage house party (the clue is in the title!) will struggle to find an audience much beyond the younger end of the student population, particularly given the young cast and characters. Whilst clearly post-watershed, the series can't help feeling distinctly more CBBC than BBC 3 ....
Like so many of its predecessors, I'm sure the show is likely to find its cult audience .... but I don't see a move to the mainstream anytime soon ....
