MUMBAI: Following the success of its online debut on BBC Switch last year, Fresh, a comedy series set in the world of university freshers, has been commissioned for a seven-part series.

The series will air on BBC Two and BBC Three in September 2009. The half-hour episodes have been produced by multi-platform production company, Greenroom Entertainment. Set on a fictional UK university campus, Fresh explores the lives of a mis-matched group of fresh-faced students as they embark on university life and their first taste of independence, with all the mishaps and misadventures that entails.

The TV series will continue where the online show left off. The original five-minute webisodes will be reformatted to create the first TV episode, followed by six completely new half-hour episodes.

The show features a cast of both new and established actors, including Jonathan Bailey as Danny, Danny Morgan as Shane, Joanna Cassidy as Scarlet and James Buckley as Fred. Greenroom Entertainment executive producer Nick Hamm says, "The evolution of Fresh from online to a multi-platform broadcast, reflects a wider trend in our industry where programme makers are responding to the audience need to receive content across numerous platforms. Fresh is a comedy with wide appeal for young audiences which makes it perfectly suited to the multi-platform approach."
