Remember the 90s classic with Egg, Millie, Miles, Anna and Warren?

The BBC is showing the first series again from next month.

It was brilliant I'll try to remember will they put it on catch up do you think?

Also from same era and awesome, queer as folk, not sure if that was ever repeated

Thanks. I've always wanted to watch it. Andrew Lincoln ...

Queer as Folk is on All4. It's an... interesting watch through modern eyes.

This Life, yay! I wasn't allowed to watch it first time round but managed to sneakily tape it on family's VHS.

I read this before I'd had any coffee and thought they were repeating That's Life with Esther Rantzen. Which would be a bit odd. "Mr Smith from Birmingham wrote to us about problems with his car insurance" from forty years ago.

Loved This Life. But I watched the first episode recently on youtube and the homophobia of the characters was noticably dated. Whereas at the time the fact that there were gay characters at all in it was noteworthy and progressive.

@BlackForestCake I bloody loved That's Life. I'm not ashamed to admit it either. 🤣

Whoop whoop, loved this back in the day!

billy1966 · 26/01/2020 20:46

Absolutely adored it. One of my favourite programmes for years.

DressesWithPocketsRockMyWorld · 26/01/2020 20:46

Yes!! I absolutely loved it. Thanks OP!

AwdBovril · 26/01/2020 20:49

I loved this but never saw the early series. Yay! (I'm still watching ER on 4OD so I'm probably set for a few months, now.) Thanks OP!
