<p>So technically, the new Channel 4 green-lit show <em>Drifters</em> is a spin-off of <em>The Inbetweeners</em>, a popular British sitcom about lackadaisical male 20-somethings that was eventually turned into a movie, and is about to get its own bastardized American version, à la <em>The Office</em>.</p>
<p>But <em>Drifters</em>--which stars three of the actresses who appeared in <em>The Inbetweeners</em> film--sounds a lot like a certain American pop culture zeitgeist retooled for British fans. Including the fact that one of the star's of the show--<a href="http://www.fhm.com/girls/covergirls/jessica-knappett">Jessica Knappett</a>--is also its writer.<br />

<blockquote><p>'Drifters' features three twentysomething women having their first experience of the real world, making terrible decisions, but having a brilliant time doing it.'</p></blockquote>
<p>Which, come on, is essentially the slogan for <em>Girls</em>:<br />

<blockquote><p>The show, which Kanppett has been writing, will tell the tale of a group of friends who are trying to work out what to do with their lives while doing boring menial jobs in Leeds.</p></blockquote>
<p>We just wonder if any of <em>Girls</em>’ more memorable first-season moments will make it into <em>Drifters</em>. Does Leeds even have a health clinic in which these girls can throw their first abortion party?</p>
