    "Pramface Mansion" was the working title of a BBC documentary about unmarried mothers a few years ago, but they changed it to "Young Mums' Mansion" in case it offended.

    I think it looks terrible ..but I'm going to give it a go ..I read they've commissioned a second series before the first episode even starts ..how does that work?

    oh and I can I be the first to ask ,the girl ? she was playing a teenager in Eastenders about 10 years ago right?

    Coming across as a more middle class inbetweeners atm

    Will keep it on though as White Van Man is on afterwards

    Edit- Climbing over the fence to a party they are not invited too, this is familiar

    The friend is really annoying - quite possibly the oldest looking '16 year old' in TV history....

    Not that brilliant so far. Nice to see Zsa Zsa from Eastenders, though.

    Wasn't terrible, I will give it another go. But if I miss it won't be a great loss. Seems to be a hybrid from skins and inbetweeners

    Quite enjoyed it! Not laugh-out-loud funny, but really enjoyable nonetheless :)

    I thought it was pretty good - not ground-breaking but entertaining enough. I hope the highly-strung friend isn't meant to be the love interest we're supposed to root for, she doesn't seem very likeable thus far.

    I quite enjoyed this myself. I never expected to watch it at all but i was flicking channels and it came on at the time (the repeat later that night) so i gave it a try. Nothing special, but not too bad. I'll watch it again next week to see what happens next.

    Halfway through this now. It's got two ex Eastenders actresses - Laura is played by the girl who played Vicky Fowler and her mate by Emer Kenny who played Zsa Zsa!

    :eek: I'm not saying she was ever ugly, but wow she has improved with age!

    Definitely agree! She looked stunning.

    Looking forward to the next ep, it was actually better than I thought it would be. Although as someone else said the main guy is the oldest looking 16 year old I've ever seen! Considering the actress who plays Laura is 26 in real life, she could pass as an 18 yr old.

    very watchable - i thought the "wank" scene went on a bit too much.
    Great to see Scarlet Johnson again,,,always fancied her lol

    You know how girls will sometimes go out with an ugly friend to make themselves look more attractive in comparison? I wonder if TV programmes do that too, because I watched Pramface and quite liked it, and then I saw White Van Man, and all of a sudden Pramface looked like the decade's greatest comedy drama.

    Not bad. At least a million times better than Coming of Age.

    i like it, it's quite funny, much better than some of the other rubbish which is supposed to be funny.

    Anyone watching this on BBC3. Have to say it's a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, i'm really enjoying it. Ep3 tonight, Laura goes off to Edin university and Jamie follows. Definetely not as funny as last week's but amusing nonetheless.
