ITV has released a brand new set of images from the upcoming new series<\/a> of its 1980s-set British sitcom Changing Ends. <\/p>\n

Back for a third season this Autumn, Alan Carr\u2019s semi-autobiographical comedy<\/a> follows a young Alan (Oliver Savell) as he grows up in Northampton. <\/p>\n

Set in the summer of 1989, season three will show Alan as a teenager as he attempts to navigate teen life after developing a new crush. <\/p>\n

Per the synopsis for the follow-up to season 2<\/a>: “Alan enters a new era as a fully fledged teenager. Growing up brings Alan new problems as he struggles to find his place in the world and gets particularly hot under the collar around his new crush Jake. At the same time Graham faces the heat from fans as the Cobblers take a dive in division three.<\/p>\n

“Does love struck Alan suppress this crush or shout about it from the rooftops? Whatever happens, it\u2019s going to be tough as Alan has the thankless task of navigating the adolescent minefields that are sleepovers, swimming lessons and nights out with the boys – and the girls. <\/p>\n
