Off the Hook

Off the Hook is a British sitcom about a group of freshers at university. Written and created by Dean Craig and Simon Maxwell, the seven-episode series stars Jonathan Bailey, Danny Morgan, and James Buckley. Danny Gordon embarks on his first year at Bankside University. However, his 'worst best friend' from school, Shane McKay, has been awarded a place at Bankside via the clearing system, and proceeds to gatecrash Danny's uni life. They share their student accommodation with Scarlet Hayes, Fred, and Wendy 'Weird Bloke'.
