The Inbetweeners

When his mother departs for the weekend, Will is left home alone and sees an opportunity for mischief. He decides to make the most of his newfound freedom, turning the situation into a comedic adventure alongside Simon Bird and Joe Thomas.

Will Is Home Alone is a television programme presented as a single episode. It falls squarely within the comedy genre, offering a light‑hearted take on everyday situations. The piece is structured as a self‑contained story, typical of an episodic format, and it centres entirely on the titular character, Will. The narrative follows Will when his mother departs for the weekend, leaving him alone in the house. With the freedom that comes from having the place to himself, he decides to make the most of the situation, treating the empty home as a chance to indulge in whatever he feels like. The plot revolves around his choices and the antics that arise from his decision to “take advantage” of the unmonitored time. Because the programme is billed as a comedy, the tone remains playful throughout, focusing on the humour that emerges from Will’s solo escapades. The episode’s premise hinges on the simple, relatable scenario of a young adult left unsupervised, and it uses that set‑up to generate comedic moments without venturing beyond the core idea. In keeping with its brief format, the story stays tightly focused on Will’s weekend, delivering a concise, amusing glimpse into his lone‑at‑home experience.
