Coming of Age is sitcom about the lives of five teenagers, created and written by 19-year-old Tim Dawson.

Jas, Ollie, Matt, Chloe and DK live in Abingdon. Their lives revolve around college, their bedrooms and, because they are always getting thrown out of the local pub, Ollie's garden shed.

Our Review: The 2007 pilot of this sitcom was not particularly well received - "juvenile, puerile and full of swearing just for the sake of it" appeared to be the general consensus on our message board.

Sadly the full series... was even worse! This comedy is likely to only appeal to a very, very small demographic - those that find shallow and predictable nob gags funny.

Basically just sex talk from start-to-finish, Coming Of Age is not big or clever. The only thing this comedy did have in spades was painfully clichéd, predictable, lumbering, juvenile, weak attempts at jokes.

In summary: an awful, awful sitcom with no redeeming features bar the good production design. And, just to point out, this British Comedy Guide review has been written by someone still within the demographic targeted by the channel - older generations may loath this 'comedy' even more!
