This Life

The funeral is Ferdy's. It's been widely available in the press for a while.

I don't know, you come on here with your "facts" and your 260 posts...

Isn't Tikaram in that 'Tripping Over' series now? With whatshername from 2 Pints? Sophie Eckenado?

i saw him in that - it's an awful show

I loved it when 1st shown... Fantastic

This Life - the best TV series bar none in the last 10 years.

Only one that comes close is Band of Brothers.

It was so NOT "sexually explicit", even in those days. Oh what sheltered lives those BBC journalists lead.

After watching the repeats the last few weeks I must say I'm really looking forward to the special! I was unsure at first but the original series really still holds up. It's such an excellent snapshot of that period of the 90s and brought some funny memories for me.

Anna shagging Egg's dad on pills

Best episode ever.

Don't understand this thing about Anna, really doesn't do anything for me, bit of a horse.

Is it the accent or something?

Yeah it was - loads of nekkid ness, plenty of gay shagging between Fergie and his ginger scots bloke in S2, Anna being porked by Egg's old man on the balcony...for 1996/7 it was WELL racy...

Know what you mean, she's weirdly bug eyed looking if you ask me...

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Nah, i think you're both feeling intimidated by such a strong-minded woman

Agree with kyser about the naughtiness as well, and what i did especially like was non-stereotypical gay characters, which is probably still a bit of a one-off for tv. Looking forward to the 2nd

Well that's bollox for a start. She's just butt ugly, face facts.

You are wrong.

no way butt ugly

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Yep, like the arse of an old donkey.

 

[BEARBOT]

what about personality???
i think it counts for a lot!
anna may not have looked like a model(great body tho!)
but her lines/forceful character were cool...characters like millie and rachel are "prettier" in the conventional sense but really dull and almost doormats.. i know which sort of woman i identify more with

 

[billy_bob]

Yep, like the arse of an old donkey.

And Kid_Eternity only goes for fresh, young donkey arse?

Damn straight.

With Anna, it was the legs up to her armpits that got me

Butt ugly Some people don't know they're living

I didn't rate it much at the time although I was at college living in shared houses with student laywers and what not at the time. What it did was smash the myth that professionals are automatically squeeky clean.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Thanks for that insightful contribution. Myths smashed, street junkies put well and truly in their place, and the reputation of professionals with drug hobbies exonerated. Ah......

Can't we go back to talking about Anna instead please?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Oh yes the bug eyed monster...

I was reading about the xmas show today, egg is a successful novelist edgar cooke, and is interviewed by Mark Lawson on a review show

I know, it's the only one i've managed to catch on the re-run

never noticed she was such a chain smoker before though

it was in the days when you could still smoke everywhere, in the office

 

[Mogden]

Bumpity bump.

It's on tonight.

It has a series link in the Sky planner which is odd so I'm assuming it's on next week too?

 

[Mrs Bradley]

can I just say that Buddy made me watch the This Life +10 last night and it was complete shite - why does everyone think this series was soooo great it's bollocks
