C4 series, a follow up from the film. Looks promising.

I Sky plussed it so haven't seen...

I did however receive a text from a pal saying it was "the most gritty realist drama [he'd] seen since Battlestar Galactica"

i thought it was ok, but it just felt a bit like nothing happened.. i thought the film was great, but this was just a bit.. dunno.. meandering..

that new one is fit though.. the one that's not smell, or lol (who looks like sarah jessica-parker minus the mole).. massive undercut, looks like the bird off the "mother nature" panty-liner adverts.. no? no? anyone? bueller?

And what was Woody wearing on his head? It was one of Paul Weller's rejected hairsyles.

I agree it was a bit slow going, hope it improves in the next 3 episodes.

The FS1E gang made me smile, Microns were better than your Fresco's and if you were a cheapskate like me, you'd just remove the baffles.

Those were the days.

I thought it really came good by the last ep.

Roll on "This is England '90".

Summer of love, Gazza crying, jumpers for goal posts etc. Ahhh.
