FANS of the Inbetweeners were left furious last night after realising the New Year's Day special wasn't a new episode.

Viewers took to Twitter to vent their frustration over the fact Inbetweeners Fwends Reunited - hosted by Jimmy Car - was just a compilation of the show's best moments.

One fan wrote on Twitter: "Bit late to the party but was anyone else disappointed that the #Inbetweeners #FwendsReunited was a chat show and not an actual episode?!? And where was @EmAtack ???"

Another said: "What a disappointment the inbetweeners #FwendsReunited was! Absolutely pointless, I thought it was going to be a feature length episode, not some s*** awards with some of the best bits!"

Ahead of Inbetweeners Fwends Reunited, James - who plays the cheeky Jay Cartwright - previously revealed how the cast of the show are like family.

He said: "Any excuse to get together we’ll take. That’s why we’re doing this show – it’s just an excuse to meet up.”

And Simon, who played geeky Will McKenzi, said he’s constantly having offensive lines shouted at him in the street.

He said: “I get called briefcase w****r, which is obviously a classic. Bumder is a bit of a go-to. All the old favourites.”
