Big Boys
Cheer the F**K Up
Created by Jack Rooke
On Channel 4
A warm, funny coming-of-age comedy-drama about two university friends navigating self-discovery, grief, and identity through the lens of unlikely male friendship and queer experience.
Two boys from very different ends of the 'spectrum of masculinity' become best friends at Brent University freshers' week; in their first year of uni, they explore, experiment and try to discover themselves, helping one another along the way.
