Meet the cast of Misfits

The good reviews for E4's new show Misfits are flooding in and the cast are hoping viewers will give it a try. On paper, star Robert Sheehan admits it sounds odd: "When you give anyone the synopsis of the show they always go, what?" The new comedy-drama is about a group of young offenders who end up with special powers after being hit by lightening in a freak flash storm. Sheehan, 21, said: "They have basically made charactatures out of the strongest insecurities, for example Simon who turns invisible when he feels ignored." Misfits is on Thursdays at 10pm.
