An Inbetweers reunion, some might say

James Buckley and Joe Thomas to play the Gallagher brothers in Comic Relief sketch

comedyAn Inbetweeners reunion – of sorts – is on the cards.

Two of the comedy’s stars, James Buckley and Joe Thomas, are to take on the roles of Oasis stars Liam and Noel Gallagher – the siblings involved in the bigger reunion of 2025 – in a parody for Comic Relief.

The sketch will also include Hugh Dennis, Martin Lewis, Micky Flanagan, Vernon Kay, Mark Silcox, Tasha Ghouri, Melvin Odoom, Roisin Conaty, and Piers Morgan.

Buckley says: ‘I had such a fun time with Joe, making this sketch for Comic Relief, and was honoured to be asked to be a part of it. And, of course, being a huge Oasis fan, getting to be Liam for the day was a dream come true.’

Thomas added: ‘I grew up watching Comic Relief and the big sketch was always a highlight of the night. So it’s both thrilling and nerve-racking to be a part of it.’ 

The sketch will air during BBC One’s Red Nose Day telethon this Friday.
