Top 5 TV shows that epitomise students

In the old days of UK television, most shows were targeted at one of two age groups - kids and adults. Nowadays, there are more channels available than ever before, so a lot more thought goes into writing and producing TV shows.

Programmes are now targeted at specific cultures, genders, interests and age ranges, which means that all you students out there have a whole host of programmes written just for you. And here’s the best news – you can watch them all on the free online TV service at SeeSaw.com. Here’s a run-down of some of the top shows on offer...

The Inbetweeners
If any show hits the nail cleanly on the head when it comes to student lifestyle, it’s The Inbetweeners. Starring four unlikely heroes, the show captures student life brilliantly, with each character reflecting a different aspect of adolescence. There’s Will, the geek who keeps on bouncing back; Simon, the cute one with no confidence, and a crush on his childhood friend; Jay, the cocky, sex-obsessed potty mouth with a talent for exaggeration; and Neil, the tall, friendly dim one. The Inbetweeners is classic student comedy, and you can catch all 3 series online right now at SeeSaw.com.

Skins
With all episodes on offer for free at SeeSaw.com, you can now get a fix of this massively successful student drama at any time, day or night. Never one to shy away from difficult subjects, Skins has tackled a number of thorny teen issues since it began in 2007, including drug abuse, mental illness, turbulent family life, eating disorders, sexual discovery and death. The show has also won numerous awards and spawned a US adaptation.

Fonejacker
It may be cheeky, it may be puerile, and it may be a little bit wrong, but that’s what makes Fonejacker so damn funny. It’s particularly popular with students, and understandably so – who hasn’t made a least one hilarious crank call when they were young? With all 15 episodes available on SeeSaw’s free online TV service, you’ll always have giggles at your fingertips.

The Gadget Show
Although most students don’t have a lot of cash to throw around, they certainly love their gadgets. If this sounds like you, then you’ll be glad to know that a over 30 episodes of The Gadget Show are available online at SeeSaw.com, which means you’ll always have the low-down on the latest ‘must have’ invention.

The Young Ones
Probably the original student comedy, The Young Ones is just as hysterical today as it always was. Sadly only 12 episodes were ever made, but they’re all available for free at SeeSaw.com. Anarchic, bizarre, and often totally ridiculous, The Young Ones is still utterly brilliant.

With all these shows available on SeeSaw’s free online TV service, along with a truckload more such as your daily catch up of Neighbours, Hollyoaks and Home & Away, you’ll never have to worry about missing your favourite programme ever again. So don’t worry about fitting your life around the TV schedules - go out pubbing or clubbing with your mates, then chill out with a bit of free online TV afterwards. Sorted!
