[ediemcreedie]

Anna is so unpleasant I have turned over.

[mancmum]

missed first bit -- what happened to miles' first wife?

[TwoIfBySea]

Love what Millie said about being a SAHM and other people's attitudes to it "best kept secret of our generation." Hope in the last part she doesn't recant!

I always liked Anna's spikeyness (sp?) It is what made her such an interesting character.

This is so bloody good. Why can't we have this on for a full series? Thirtysomething but without the folding towels.

[SherlockLGJ]

More of the same, none of them seem to have matured and the fly on the wall is totally unbelievable IMO.


Have to say, we did not watch this regularly, as anytime DH was home(which was not a lot in those days) we sat at the kitchen table and talked and talked or we went out to the Tannin Level and talked and talked. In the halcyon days before he went proper grown up deaf.

[AitchTwoOhOhSeven]

i can't believe that they've written a documentarist into the script. so ten years ago...

[ameli]

ok, so i didnt buy the documentary shite for a minute. I don't really know what i was expecting but im dissapointed. Maybe I just couldnt to bring myself to recognise how much they had aged, Anna and Mille looked worse out of the lot. The men looked pretty good. What do you all think? I enjoyed watching, although seccond time around I had difficulty in really believing the characters. Originally they just seemed so real, you know you really identified with an Anna or Warren, now they just seem like bad actors.

[ameli]

OK,so i didnt buy the documentary shite either. Originally they all looked beautiful and great, now, Anna and Mille looked awful. I dont really know what I was expecting, though I am disappointed. Didnt really believe the characters seccond time around, the original acting was bad , but convincing. This time, bad acting and unconvincing. What do you all reckon?

[ameli]

thought i neva sent it first time, sorry!

[Jimjams2]

here ameli

[ledodgy]

I was a bit dissappointed I wanted to see what Kiera (was that her name the one that used to be in grange hill, the secretary) was upto too.

[choosyfloosy]

i enjoyed it and thought milly in particular looked great! but very disappointed not to know what all the characters were up to, esp miles' first wife who i liked. And Rachel too.

Dammit wish they'd do another series

[Jimjams2]

oh yes kiera and Joe- missed them too.

[Jimjams2]

and o donnel (puke) and his amazing solid hair.
