Tweeners’ nugget of pure Gold
TREAT Buckley, Westwick, Thomas
What do you get if one of the blokes behind The Inbetweeners writes a sitcom about double glazing salesmen in 1983 Essex and persuades two of the stars of that hit show to be in it?
That’s right. You get a sweary new BBC Two sitcom that pretty much imagines what Jay (James Buckley) and Simon (Joe Thomas) from The Inbetweeners would have been like had they been double glazing salesmen.
Don’t take that as a criticism, though. White Gold works a treat.
And as most of the comedy gold comes from the banter between the characters, you don’t need to have lived through the 1980s to appreciate it.
Buckley and Thomas play Brian Fitzpatrick and Martin Lavender,
