Emily Head: The Inbetweeners actress on the men in her life (including her ...

Emily Head breezes into a South London studio clutching a bottle of Diet Coke, dumps her bag, and blows a blonde wisp out of her eyes. ‘Just been to an audition,’ she says, nodding at her smart attire – polka-dot blouse, black skirt, redoubtable heels.

It’s the kind of outfit that would set off feverish adolescent fantasies in The Inbetweeners, the E4 sitcom in which Emily stars. The show follows the clammy fortunes of a quartet of suburban teenage boys as they negotiate friendships, females and growing pains in a no-holds-barred fashion that’s made it a huge cult hit. According to one critic, the show has ‘captured the pathetic sixth-form male experience quite splendidly’. Emily plays Carli, object of an unrequited crush on the part of Simon (Joe Thomas), one of the quartet, which may or may not be resolved in The Inbetweeners Movie, due for release next month.

The Inbetweeners has made stars out of all its young cast, but Emily, 22, hails from acting royalty: her father, Anthony Head, was the smoothie in the Gold Blend ads and has starred as Rupert Giles in Buffy The Vampire Slayer and as the Prime Minister – the object of a serious crush himself – in Little Britain. That’s what you might call a head start. And, as she discusses life before and after The Inbetweeners, it quickly becomes apparent that, unlike the hapless kids in the series, Emily has a pretty wise head on her shoulders. 

But I guess the show is so loved because it’s true to life. In some ways, it’s the anti-Skins [the E4 series where all the sixth-formers are cool and good-looking]; this is what the teenage experience is really like, in all its messy, fumbling, clueless chaos. But the biggest surprise is that parents enjoy it as much as their kids, and they watch it together. I guess everyone remembers being at school, and they can identify with one or another of the characters and their problems and longings and highs and lows. We’ve all been there. I think some people still are… That’s a chilling thought!

The show’s been so much fun to do I’m really going to miss it now it’s finished – well, we’re guessing it’s finished. Nothing’s set in stone but the film kind of ties everything up neatly, and we can’t all be stuck in the sixth form when we’re getting into our mid-to-late 20s. But it’s been four great years of my life. I love everyone on the show – the boys are like my brothers – and I’m already feeling bereft. A lot of actors have big embarrassments on their CV, but this is something we can look back on and be proud of.

Birthright: My Vampire Name

Found this awesome little site, Vampire name generator and had to try it out. I have to tell you, it's pretty much true to how I really am. The "flitting between dark places" is true, because I'd go downstairs to where my son is either playing games or working on his art work and I'd just stand there until he turns around and finds me, scaring him half to death. I'm known as "ninja mom" Pretty nifty name if I do say so myself and I am quiet. Try it yourselves!
