Speaking to Screen Daily, he said: “The challenge with a film - and we're wrestling with this at the moment so we don't have any answers - is that you want it to be bigger but you also don't want to destroy the essence of the show you've created.
“The Inbetweeners and In the Loop are good examples of characters going on holiday so that is one option we're looking at.
“But we don't want it to feel like they've stopped being the characters from Fresh Meat so it's a difficult balance to get right.”
The show first aired in 2011, starring Jack Whitehall, 'The Inbetweeners' star Joe Thomas, Greg McHugh, Zawe Ashton, Kimberley Nixon and Charlotte Ritchie as freshers at a fictional university in Manchester.
A third series of the TV show is thought to be airing on Channel 4 in the autumn.
