Danny Gordon embarks on his first year at Bankside University.

They share their student accommodation with Scarlet Hayes, Fred, and Wendy 'Weird Bloke'.
Seasons
Season 1
Danny Gordon's delight at starting university takes a serious knock-back when he realises he'll be joined by the cheerily obnoxious and thick-skinned Shane McKay, 'the worst best friend anyone could have' when they were at school. He ends up sharing accommodations with Shane and the introverted Fred. Danny falls for the comely Becky and is anxious to impress her with, for example, conflated stories about being a volunteer in a leper colony. Thanks to Shane, Danny ends up posing nude for her art class.
