Campus: great Mirror preview
The Daily Mirror has a great preview of the pilot along with a photo of Joseph as Matthew Beer.
This is the series where Channel 4 kicks some fledgling sitcoms out of the nest to see which ones will fly. The Kevin Bishop Show, Plus One and Free Agents all came out of 2007’s try-outs and I’d put money on Campus getting the green light – especially as it’s set in Kirke University (motto: “With Wings”).
It feels like Green Wing Goes To College, because it was made by that show’s creator Victoria Pile and her team.

There are some very funny moments but the staff at Kirke are perhaps a little too eccentric for their own good. It’s as if the challenge was how weird can we make these people and still have them breathe oxygen?
Vice-chancellor Jonty (Andy Nyman) comes on like a more megalomaniac David Brent, while womanising English lecturer Matt Beer (think about it) and speccy maths star Imogen Moffat (Joseph Millson and Lisa Jackson) have big shoes to fill if they’re to be Campus’s answer to Guy and Caroline.
