G'wed is Scouse/Liverpool slang for "go ahead" and is totally apt title for a new Inbetweeners-style ITVX comedy series that follows a group of youngsters in Liverpool who are coping with big issues by relying on their even bigger senses of humor.
G'wed stars newcomer Dylan Thomas-Smith as potty-mouthed bad boy Reece, who is pushed into mentoring the new kid on the block, southerner Christopher (played by Endeavour’s Jake Kenny-Byrne). And like most teens, Reece, Christopher and their crew find themselves tackling the age-old problems of grief, sex, diversity and class differences. The show boasts a cast of upcoming young talent as well as Casualty’s Sunetra Sarker and The Responder actor Philip Shaun McGuinness.
“This young cast had a lot of potential that was quickly fulfilled throughout filming, I can’t wait for everyone to see how well they have brought these characters to life,” says series writer Danny Kenny.
