AABBBCCC
Are they bad grades?
They are not bad but not good - just standard really. There are basically the grades I got: A*AABBBCC

He wants to to study English at UEA, Sussex, Leicester, Kent or Exeter. Does he stand a chance? (providing he meets A level requirements)
Lots of universities overlook GCSEs if the A-levels make up for them. Provided he meets the basic requirements and isn't going for Oxbridge/LSE/UCL/Dur, I reckon he'll be ok.

I don't know if any of them are completely out of bounds, although with Exeter, they run an A*AA course and an AAB course (I think). The AAB course would be easier, methinks.
It's a bit early to be definitively planning universities, though. Get the results, do AS levels, take it from there.
The grades are fine, at least he passed everything and as long as he gets the required A level grades for his chosen universities then I think he'll be able to get a place
