In the show, Blake Harrison's character Neil frequently teased Will about asking her out for him, will Will always refusing.

Joe, who played Simon Cooper on the show, indicated another film is likelier than a new TV series, and would see the lads far removed from school — where the characters were when the Channel 4 sitcom began in 2008.
Asked whether conversions for a comeback have started, Joe said: “Yes, it’s happened in various forms. All of us feel it would be nice to do.”
He revealed he was still good pals with the cast, including James Buckley (gross Jay), Simon Bird (posh Will) and Blake Harrison (dozy Neil).
He teased “some of the ideas out there” for a revival included a stag do in Vegas.

The four lads would also meet for five-a-side football rather than in the school common room.
But Joe admitted: “Everybody’s anxiety would be, ‘Will it be as good?’. That is what we would be going in with.”
Inbetweeners stars reunite for the first time in five years
The comedy — which also starred Emily Atack as Charlotte — spanned three series between 2008 and 2010, and gained a devoted following.
But it was the two films in 2011 and 2014 that gave The Inbetweeners widespread popularity.
The Inbetweeners 2, which saw the infantile foursome travel to Australia, broke the first movie’s box office record by taking £2.75million on its opening day.
Simon Bird has previously said he still gets “briefcase w***er” shouted at him in the street, in honour of Will’s nickname.
However, Joe admits the four main stars have finally embraced its success after appearing in a string of other projects.
He told the Always Be Comedy podcast: “We’re all still around, we’re all still in each other’s lives.
“We all still like each other. And if it was something that came up, I think we would want to do it.

“We’ve all been able to go away and get various monkeys off our backs, in terms of things that we felt we needed to do other than The Inbetweeners to prove something to ourselves.”
