Living opposite ‘Will’s house’ in Abbots Langley, Herts, Janette Creasey, a 69-year-old retired teacher, experienced the filming of the Inbetweeners right from the start in 2007.
Little did she know that the comedy, following the mishaps of four awkward teenagers, would eventually become a cult classic.
Janette recalls a memorable encounter during the early stages of filming the first season.
Stepping outside her house one day, she found herself face to face with the entire cast.
Amused, she asked them if they were the stars of the show, to which they replied in jest, unaware of the massive success that awaited them.
Janette remains somewhat reserved about the show, considering it a bit crude for her taste, but the interaction with the cast remains etched in her memory.

The quaint neighborhood in Abbots Langley, Herts, has left an enduring impression on the memories of those who witnessed the Inbetweeners’ humble beginnings.
From chance encounters with the cast during filming to the oddity of seeing their homes on television, the residents of ‘Will’s house’ and ‘Simon’s house’ experienced a unique slice of fame and its effects on their once quiet streets.
