Bodies meets This Life

Just watching the boxset of the first series and I'm really hooked. It is a great drama. Has great humour and it brilliantly acted.
It dawned on me it was kind of like Bodies (that other criminally underrated and under-watched BBC drama of the 2000's). It had it's lawyer hero and his rival (John Hannah and Paul Freeman) like Bodies had it's doctor hero and rival (Max Beesley and Patrick Baladi) And where Bodies had the gallows-humour -(mainly delivered by a brilliant Keith Allen)- here we have gentle humour through the main cast with Laugh-out-loud-hilarious guest stars like Sean Gallagher and Tony Slattery,

I see NSL as the cross between Bodies and This Life- two other BBC brilliant black comedy-dramas that only had 2 series'
Bodies got a one-off finale after the 2nd series ended and This Life got a one-off 10 year reunion episode. Maybe New Street Law will get a 10 year reunion in a few years.

Anyway it's a great show with the exceptionally talented, brilliant thespian Paul Freeman,who is a legend and the quality John Hannah, the funny John Thomson, the gorgeous Penny Dowie and Lisa Faulkner -a mother and daughter you can equally lust after , mmmmmmm :-)

Ps; Anyone else realise the two Johns both starred together with Steve Coogan in both Paul and Pauline Calf's Video Diaries on BBC2 about 12 years prior to this?Good to see Fat Bob and Mark The Student back together.LOL
