Filming began in February 2011 in South Africa. John Dagleish stated that ''Beaver Falls'' was like ''The O.C.'' but with British humour. He also talked about fellow E4 show ''The Inbetweeners'', And quoted "The Inbetweeners is great and it was a massive success so if we can replicate that we'll be really happy. If we can get half the success they get we'll be chuffed. A second series was confirmed in October 2011. |

Critical reception has been mixed, with critics comparing ''Beaver Falls'' to ''The Inbetweeners'', but stating that it falls some way short of comical brilliance. Christopher Hooton of ''Metro'' felt that it was the usual teen comedy; the irresistible ladies man, the awkward virgin, the high school jock, the fat kid, the hot woman. Hooton also added "Beaver Falls is essentially a textbook covered in pencil-drawn penises, it was funny once upon a time but that time has passed." Rachel Tarley of ''Metro'' stated: "Beaver Falls is shaping up to be a silly, lewd and pretty juvenile series, but with so much heart at its core, it's hard not to warm to these hapless characters and their stories." |
