At first, this new comedy goes through the motions with a depressing lack of imagination. Its main characters — nice virgin; crass, gawky, showboating virgin; swotty PC girl who secretly loves nice virgin; posh, bright girl who’s rebelling against her parents — are archetypes from American films, unaltered. Real teens are a lot more diverse, and funny.
But the title tells you this is a set-up episode. The booze-fuelled fumble in the middle will spawn a baby. Can Pramface step up and grow up? Someone thinks so, because they’ve splashed out on Anna Chancellor and Angus Deayton as the parents at war. And the young actors are blameless. Pramface could still recover from its inauspicious start.
