Editing Will McKenzie (section)

==Character History==
===Background===
Will moves from an un-named private school to a local sixth form comprehensive school because his mother, [[Polly Mckenzie|Polly]], can no longer afford the private school fees. Will's parents have recently separated, due to his father having an affair with a woman four years older than Will, but his mother attributes the school move to bullying.[[File:3.jpg|thumb|Will's blazer and briefcase makes him stand out from the rest of his classmates|242x242px|link=http://inbetweeners.fandom.com/wiki/File:3.jpg]]
===Series 1===
On moving to the new school, [[Simon Cooper|Simon]], Neil and Jay become Will's friends after initially trying to avoid him. Will is best known for his upper-class mannerisms, which makes him an even bigger target for bullies than he would have been at his old school. While he displays a deadpan cynicism during narration and among the other boys, he can be overwhelmingly optimistic, much to the ire of Mr. Gilbert. Will is also quite stubborn, getting into arguments when he feels wronged and quickly escalating into shouting at the person he is arguing with. These situations are always followed by a moment of humiliation for Will. He is an unconventional hero - although he is generally the wittiest and most level-headed of the group, he is prone to making bad choices and outrageous remarks.

He is generally sophisticated, sensible and possesses intelligence that surpasses that of his friends. Another dominant characteristic is his tendency to deliver sarcastic, dry humoured remarks, some of which get him into trouble. Will also appears to follow certain ethical laws, though is not above occasionally committing dubious acts, such as purchasing alcohol illegally, insulting Neil's father while intoxicated, and accidentally insulting people who are disabled, among others.
===Series 2===
Will aspires to have a career in law or maybe the media, and was supposed to be attending a local newspaper office for work experience. However, a mix-up with applications sends Neil to the newspaper office (instead of "driving aeroplanes") and Will spends his placement at a garage, where he ultimately fails to fit in and gets bullied by the staff working there. At the end of the second series, when the boys face exams, Will began to crack under pressure and relies on energy drinks to keep him awake - believing that if he didn't sleep he can spend more time revising. This plan unfortunately backfires, leading to him soiling himself during his final exam, and after completing it several hours late, he goes to the pub and downs three pints of lager, compensating for the fact that he has probably failed his Politics AS level.

He is interested in Charlotte "Big Jugs" Hinchcliffe, and the two of them have been known to spend time together, with Will accidentally ruining their relationship. He nearly lost his virginity to Charlotte after telling her in school a few days prior that he had had numerous lovers, although when they did attempt to have sex, Charlotte was let down by Will's unsuccessful attempt; in his own words, "rubbing up against the perineum".
===Series 3===
In Series 3, Will is convinced to go on a double date with Simon, Tara, and Tara's friend, Kerry (or "Big Kerry" according to Will). He is repulsed by her as she is taller than he is, and is rather ditzy and boring; however once he hears how she is known for fellating her last few boyfriends, he continues his relationship with her. They unexpectedly share a kiss when Kerry escorts him back home, which gives her the impression that they are now dating. At Neil's eighteenth birthday party, Will causes outrage by attempting to harshly break-up with Kerry, not knowing that her father had died a month previously, and that Tara had arranged their relationship to comfort her. Will later attempts to arrange a final camping holiday with the lads before they go their separate ways after leaving school. Will is the only character out of the four to never pass his driving test; this is in large part due to the fact his mother did not sign him up for driving lessons on his 17th birthday as she thought the minimum age was 18.
===Films===
In ''The Inbetweeners Movie'', the group go on holiday to Malia in Greece after leaving school, where Will meets Alison, a woman with a similar personality to him. Despite Alison initially acting distant towards Will's advances, owing to the fact that she already has a boyfriend, they become closer and she suggests they go skinny dipping one night. At the beach the following night, Alison strips naked in front of Will, imploring him to do the same before placing his hand on her breast, and they appear to be growing closer until she catches her boyfriend having sex with another woman and runs off crying. They ultimately reconcile at a boat party later that week, where Alison admits to Will that she really likes him. Will affirms that he likes her as well and they begin a relationship which lasts for their final duration of their holiday in Malia and for an unspecified time after although they break up before the events of the second film. It is unknown why Will and Alison broke up although it's possibly due to his unpopularity, awkwardness, lack of sexual experience, tendency to launch into offensive rants, long distance (as Will went to university in Bristol) or another unspecified reason. Their breakup is kept ambiguous and Alison isn't seen again.

In the events of the second film, Will is ostracised by fellow students in Bristol and admits to Simon and Neil that he is unhappy there. On Jay's recommendation, they decide to surprise him and visit him in Australia. In Sydney, Will bumps into Katie, a classmate from his private school and becomes attracted to her.

Meeting Katie's backpacker friends, Will is determined to fit in with them but is quickly dismissed as a "tourist" rather than a traveller and passive-aggressively mocked, particularly by Ben. In an effort to impress Katie, he tries to adopt a "traveller" persona. Will manages to seduce Katie and they have a sexual encounter in the hostel dormitory but unbeknown to him, she passes out from alcohol and a fellow backpacker who walked in, assumes he is sexually assaulting her, triggers a rape alarm that Polly had got him earlier.

Later, Will argues with his friends as they plan to travel to Birdsville to find Jane while he wants to stay in Byron Bay with Katie. Finding that he couldn't fit in with the backpacker personalities and after finding out that Katie is sleeping with multiple men, including Ben, he launches into a rant and later catches up with his friends in Birdsville.

Afterwards, the group travel around Southeast Asia and upon arrival back in the UK, Will learns that Polly is engaged to Mr Gilbert and attempts to run back to the plane, being tackled by security while doing so.
