However, Channel 4 have confirmed to RadioTimes.com that the sudden disappearance of the sitcom's content from the YouTube page was unrelated to any claims about "offence" and simply a rights issue.

“The rights owner of The Inbetweeners (outside the UK) has changed from DRG to Banijay Group," a spokesperson said. "So the standalone YouTube channel showing The Inbetweeners content has been taken down for the time being.

"The Inbetweeners full episodes are still available on All 4.”

Clips from The Inbetweeners still feature on the E4 YouTube account.
