''Pramface'' is a comedy series on BBC3 that follows the lives of Jamie and Laura, two teenagers from very different walks of life who end up sleeping together at a party. Just weeks later the eighteen year old Laura realises she's [[TeenPregnancy pregnant]]. And then she realises that the father, Jamie, is only sixteen. The series shows Jamie and Laura attempting to cope with their new responsibilities, while dealing with embarrassing parents and their struggles to still be a normal teenager.

The first series of ''Pramface'' started in February '12, and will only have [[BritishBrevity six episodes]]. A second series has already been comissioned, and will start filming in late '12.

!!''Pramface'' contains examples of:

* {{Adorkable}}: Jamie
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Both Jamie and Laura's parents are incredibly embarrassing.
* BrainyBrunette: Beth. Laura counts too, we see that she got amazing grades in her A-Levels.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Laura, definitely Laura. She even storms off upstairs and sneaks out of her room to go to the party where she met Jamie.
* BritishBrevity: The first series only has six half hour long episodes.
* BrotherSisterIncest: Played for laughs, Jamie follows Laura to university, and uses the excuse that she's his sister to try and find out where she is. Unfortunately people get the wrong idea when he later says that he was the one who got her pregnant.
* ButWeUsedACondom: Jamie and Laura ''did'', it was just on wrong.
* ButtMonkey: Poor Mike. Granted he has a habit of bringing it on himself, but still.
* CampGay: The male 'friend of a friend' that Beth tries to set Mike up with.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Mike ends up doing this after being thrown out of a party, only for his mother to walk in on him during the 'climax'. To the TopGear theme.
* DeadpanSnarker: Beth. Laura also has her moments, as does Laura's mother.
* FriendshipMoment: There's a sweet one between Laura and Danielle after Laura inadvertingly ends up making out with the guy Danielle was interested in.
* GranolaGirl: Beth has shades of this.
* HotMom: Laura counts, of course, but Jamie's mother is also pretty good looking.
* {{JerkAss}}: Beth can come across as this from time to time.
* LamazeClass: Where poor Jamie ends up being called up to the front for a demonstration. HilarityEnsues.
* MistakenForGay: Mike, thanks to Beth, and the fact he was pretending to be bi-sexual at the time. It leads to a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.
* MoodWhiplash: While a comedy at heart, sometimes funny scenes will quickly change to a more dramatic one.
* MoralDissonance: When Beth begs Mike to go on a double date with her, she doesn't mention that it's with a ''guy'', despite knowing full well that Mike is straight. She then sits there snidely while Mike tries to make out he's bi-sexual to avoid hurting the guy's feelings (and his chances with said guy's gorgeous female friend), and tells everyone that Mike is more gay than straight. While it's PlayedForLaughs, we're apparently meant to think that Beth did nothing wrong.
* ObviousPregnancy: Laura is showing as of the fourth episode, though it's [[JustifiedTrope justified]] due to the time skip.
* OnlySaneMan: Jamie seems to be this, though occasionally Laura joins him.
* RightBehindMe: When Laura is ranting to Jamie about being pregnant, she only realises at the last minute that her parents are stood ''right'' behind her.
* TheSnarkKnight: Beth once again.
* StalkerWithACrush: Played with, Jamie follows Laura to university to try and talk things over, but instead comes across as being a little stalkerish. It only gets worse when somehow the entire university knows that Jamie got Laura pregnant, but they also believe that they are [[BrotherSisterIncest brother and sister]].
* TeenPregnancy: Laura, of course. The title ''Pramface'' is slang for someone who looks too young to be a mother.
* {{Tsundere}}: Beth, though she spends most of her time in the tsun tsun area.
** Laura has her moments.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: ''Beth''. We're supposed to feel sorry for her due to her [[AllLoveIsUnrequited unrequited crush]] on Jamie, but she's such a {{Jerkass}} towards her own friends that you can see why he's not interested.
