Read our privacy policy James Buckley has offered more comments on the ill-fated Inbetweeners reunion that aired on New Year’s Day to overall negative feedback. The sitcom star previously apologised for the programme, during which he, Blake Harrison, Joe Thomas, and Simon Bird reunited on Channel 4 for a two-hour special hosted by Jimmy Carr, marking the 10th anniversary of the sitcom’s debut. While Buckley thought an Inbetweeners reunion would be “impossible to f*** up”, many viewers complained about the special on social media. So I come across as a complete moron through the whole thing.” Buckley also says he got confused because he wasn’t sure whether or not he was expected to act like himself or his Inbetweeners character Jay.
