In the UK, I always typically had: Summer holidays - 6 or 7 weeks (late July to early September-ish) Half term - 1 week (late October-ish) Christmas holidays - 2 weeks (late December to early January) Half term - 1 week (late February-ish) Easter holidays - 2 weeks (late March to early April) Half term - 1 week (June-ish)
At an independent school in the UK I had: Summer holiday - 8 or 9 weeks (Summer term ended on 7th July, Michaelmas term started September 5th) October half term - 2 weeks Christmas holiday - 4 weeks (start of December to start of January) February half term - 1 week Easter holiday - 3 weeks June half term - 2 weeks
By law they are not allowed to show more than 12 minutes of adverts/ commercials per hour. Here in the the UK. It’s divided up to roughly 3 minutes worth, about every 15 minutes. So for a show like the Inbetweeners. There will be 1 break in the middle lasting a few minutes, and then one after.
Yes - that's quite common for short non-BBC shows like this in the UK, to have a single 3-minute commercial break, tidily inserted into the middle of the episode. The makers of the show know exactly when the break will be, and can adjust the editing and script to make it as tidy as possible
We have six weeks in summer, two weeks at Easter and two weeks at Christmas.....and in between those we have a week break...so six weeks of school one week break...six weeks two weeks break...then repeat until summer
A general school year is Sept-July. 1 week off at end of Oct 2 weeks off around Christmas and New Year. 1 week off in Feb 2 weeks off at Easter time. 1 week off at end of May 6 weeks off from Mid July to Sept ready for the new school year Of course it varies a little depending on what area of UK you are in
Australian school holidays generally fall in April, July, Sept/Oct and December. The first 3 are always 2 weeks off and then Christmas is just over a month off for the summer.
When I went to school. (I'm 30 and left when I was 15). End of July, to the first week of September, we used to have six weeks off for the Summer holidays. Then it was the odd one to two weeks break every now and again throughout from September to May.
In Scotland it is slightly different to what others have said. 2 weeks in March / April for Easter 6 weeks from very end June to Mid August for Summer 10 days approx in October 2 weeks at Christmas to New Year (Plus random long weekends, in-service days (where teachers go in but students dont) throughout year.

Our breaks in England tend to be 6 weeks summer end of July to early September. Then a week October, February and May and 2 weeks December and April for xmas and Easter.
13 weeks a year , 6 weeks summer hoilday usually from the 20th July till the 1st Sept, then 1 week in October, 2 weeks at Christmas, 1 week in February, 2 weeks at Easter and 1 week in spring
We have 2 weeks off at Easter and Christmas as well as something called bank Holidays where schools and businesses close on either a Friday or a Monday. We also get 6 weeks off from July to the beginning of September and the rest of the school year is divided up into 6 week segments broken up by 1 or 2 week holidays. Basically in a typical UK school year we have about 200 days of school.
Your conversation about adverts: we have far fewer adverts in UK than USA. There is a 2.5 mins ad break half way through a 25 min show, then another 2.5 mins at the end. So in an hour, we have 20 mins adverts, over 4 breaks.
When I was at school in the north of England. it was 3 weeks off for Easter and Xmas, 6.5 weeks off for summer, and a week off in February for half term and 4 bank holidays . All schools close for the whole of August.
England and Scotland tend to have their summer holidays at slightly different times. England's start in July and end in September. Scotland's start in June and end in August. Both last 6-7weeks.
Another example of how England and Scotland are entirely different countries yet both termed as British under that umbrella term..... so how do these two have playlists with Irish videos, Scottish videos and British videos???!!!!! Do you mean English videos???? Don't even try and replace my countries name but no one else's!
It's funny because although they claim to be on a geography trip to Swanage, they actually filmed in a completely different area. I actually have been on a geography trip to Swanage and it's a lot more scenic, also a brilliant summer spot.
Australia here our summer is Dec - Feb. our school year runs in the calendar year. Term 1 Starts late January until Easter then 2 weeks holiday, term 2 April - July then 2 weeks holiday, term 3 July - September 2 weeks off then - September until mid Dec 6 weeks off.
6 weeks off normally in England for Summer holidays + few weeks off here and there throught the year. Different areas have there own versions, so depends where you live.
Our school years are split into 3 terms and each term into two halves. Kids get a break at half term and the end of term. First term is September to Christmas, then two weeks off. Second term is January to Easter, then another 2 weeks off. Final term is May to mid July with a 6 week summer holiday at the end of it. Kids also get a week off in the middle of each term meaning they get about 13 weeks off per year in total. There are also a few inset days which get tagged onto the beginning or end of school holidays. These are days where the kids are off school but the teachers go in and use the days for training and prep work. Kids also get statutory bank holidays off, although they usually fall within main school holidays anyway.
From Northern Ireland here - you are spot on, her accent is indeed NI. Possibly around Belfast, or at least the county Down/Antrim area (I'm in Derry, but from Tyrone originally)
Loved the reaction from Lauren & Simon hugging and Will stood in the background being the most awkward third wheel in existence. “Fucking Go”!!! … “Get Outta There”!!! Hahahaha! Not too dissimilar from the things you’d shout whilst watching the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan.
Your pretty much spot on for UK shows and commercials. A 'half hour' show would usually consist of a commercial or two before it starts; a break halfway through of a few minutes for commercials; the second half of the show; then some more commercials before the next programme.
Please hurry to watch the next 2! Work Experience and Will's birthday are such great episodes. Tbh there's not one I dislike through the whole 3 series, but Will's birthday is a particular favourite of mine. The end of the third series is when they finish school so it was an obvious place to end it, which I'm glad about because there's nothing worse than when a good show goes downhill, which they tend to do after about the 4th season. There are 2 films after the last series, both involving holidays (vacations to you ☺️) and they were right to stop there. The first film is the better one, but the second is still very good and there's a moment at the very end everyone absolutely loves, perfect ending for those involved, I'll be interested to see if you know which one I mean ☺️
Either this episode or S3 E1 'the fashion show' is my favourite. I feel like this episode has more funny moments in it, but the fashion show has some of the funniest scenes in the entire show.
yeh UK tv has far fewer commercial breaks from what friends have told me. Apparently for like an episode of the simpsons they do the intro music, ad break, part 1, ad break, part 2, ad break, then end credits??? mad
I went to a posh (private school) so I got longer holidays than those at State school. 8 weeks in Summer, 4 at Easter and 4 at Christmas. The downside was that my school day didn't finish until 5. And I had to go in on Saturday also
OMG this episode reminds me of a mate of mine when we were that age trying to score with girls. We met some new ones one night and similar to the Yoda impression, my mate said "do you read Douglas Adams?" LOL we did immediately see how nerdy it sounded though and all had a laugh!
By the way this trip to the coast was filmed in littlehampton in West Sussex my home town. That’s the river Aron they was on, my pal watch these scenes being filmed. Even Jay mentioned on the boat the locals are nice. Because they all shouting by side of the river. 😅
When I was at school it was. 6 weeks in the summer, end of July to beginning of September. Week off in October 2/3 weeks off at Christmas A week off in February 2 weeks at Easter 1 week in May.
our breaks are, 2 months of summer (july, august) One week early november 2 weeks with Christmas A week at the end February (or start of march) 2 weeks with easter 1 week in may.
Watching you guys watch this on here was funnier than watching this first time around on tv here in the UK. You guys must have something like this in the States?
It is ca 15 years old. Very exaggerated but funny. Would probably not been done now, even in the UK. The version for deaf of hearing with sign language is comedy gold if you find it. The woman doing all the vulgar words in sign language should get an Oscar.
13:21 in the 90's ..in the UK... MadDog 20/20 , nasty but cheap LMAO many local Football field was Christened with MadDog (and probably vomit 50% of the time) in the 90's. An Off Licence that stocked MadDog in the 90's aged 15-17 was a good sign, as it meant they were after that not quite old enough "Paper" , which is a little more sinister looking back, but at the time was all part of the adventure.
this episode was filmed just down the road from me in littlehampton.........i watched some of it being made and if you know littlehampton then jay would of scored easy lol
No one probably cares... but in Australia we have - 6 weeks summer holidays Mid Dec to end of Jan. 2 weeks Easter holidays in April 2 weeks Winter holidays in July 2 weeks spring holidays in Sept. I like the English way better, even though it's about the same number of weeks they are spread out a bit more, nice!
Lauren's name is jayne wisener, she's from Ballymoney, not far from Belfast. She was also in sweeney Todd, with Johnny Depp Edit, I started buying Alcohol for people when I was 13, I always looked older than I was.
You should watch the first episode of the American remake and compare. It only lasted a couple of episodes in total. Also fyi all great series end after 3 or 4 seasons to end on a high 😂
Hi guys. Yeah In England School’s get 6 weeks of in the summer from mid July to beginning of September. Yeah you’re right, the terms are broken up through the year. There’s 4/5 breaks each from a week or two off through the year.. Cool INBETWEENERS again, remind me of my school with our group of pals who after leaving school and working full time at 16 we had more fun 😎🥃😏😎🐰
In the UK, I always typically had:
Summer holidays - 6 or 7 weeks (late July to early September-ish)

Christmas holidays - 2 weeks (late December to early January)
Half term - 1 week (late February-ish)
Easter holidays - 2 weeks (late March to early April)
Half term - 1 week (June-ish)
This is pretty standard across the UK
Don't forget the odd Monday or Friday for bank holidays. It works out around 13 weeks a year, give or take.
At an independent school in the UK I had:
Summer holiday - 8 or 9 weeks (Summer term ended on 7th July, Michaelmas term started September 5th)

One of the top episodes. That boat scene is brilliant.

Fair play for sporting the northern Irish accent! That’s remarkable for an American to spot that!
The easiest way to tell is the pronunciation of the “ou” sound in words like “round” or “pound”. Northern Irish will pronounce it more like “roiynd” or “poiynd”.
Afterwards, if you want something similar to this, Bad Education would be a great watch!
Not the new season tho, that's terrible
Will's new sitcom starts tonight (Monday) on channel 4. Yes, that is a Northern Ireland accent

In Scotland, we are on hols a month before England. Its so weird going to England in hols and they are still at school.
Children tended to get the harvest season off to help get the crops in and that tradition has continued.
