I Remember watching this 10 years ago, switched on last night to see...


How much it has aged.I hasnt at all, seems like a brand new drama, nothing Much happens but its so watchable, really good characters and acting; very involving. I ended up watching both shows last night and think i will be watching the whole lot now. It was THE show during its second series, was like 24 or something...Ok somethings do date it, the large crt tvs and monitors in the office, andthey dont use mobiles very much. Clothes, music style etc hasnt really altered in last 10 years.

Yeah I've been watching every double bill. Still as great as ever, I'm hooked again and gutted I have to wait till Monday to see more. It is part of my nightly routine now!

Cher: Would you call me selfish?
Dee: No, not to your face.

I'm trying not to watch every night, but to tape and see later, but somehow...The sleep deprivation I am suffering fits in nicely with our hungover friends on screen trying to function on no sleep

I am watching both episodes every night - it's good practice for the sleepless nights to come watching the Ashes! I liked the BBC announcer's comment after the first episode the other night - "Another episode coming right up - yes, you'll be tired tomorrow, but it'll be worth it."

"Another episode coming right up - yes, you'll be tired tomorrow, but it'll be worth it." I KNOW i was giggling at tht because its so true!

right there with you, i never ever buy a tv guide but happened to last weekend and was lucky enough to spot the repeats. i'm a parent now and get up at 6am so taping each double bill and watching it again the next night, caught all 12 so far despite the video player chewing one old tape (i literally took both tape and player again to respool it to watch it).

It's great watching it again, especially as now i'm 30 and a grown up, a few years older than the characters, when it was on first time around i was 20 and at uni and the characters were a few years older than me. but i was most definitely into the same beer fuelled lifestyle. i also own most of the music played so far in the series, even the more obscure stuff you hear in the background sometimes.

i'm surprised just how much of it i remember, right down to quotes like: "Legs?" ... "Strong looking..." ... the whole thing makes me long for my uni days of old by association, when 6am was when i went to bed!
