23 years ago the first episode of This Life was broadcast!

Saw this on Twitter. I didn't realise Jane Fallon wrote it.

God I loved that programme so much! I wanted to be all of them and to live in that house. I wish I could go back to those days.

Absolutely loved this - have the box set. I was working in a city law firm at the time and could identify with so much of it. Was a similar age to the characters too.

My uni days ! Still got it on video - though nothing to play it on !

Loved this show, and fancied Daniela Nardini

I can still remember seeing the advertisement for it and thinking a show about newly qualified lawyers didn't sound like the most interesting subject for a television show. But I am so glad I watched it because I was totally hooked on it!

I get quite nostalgic for it because 23 years ago, I moved from the US to England on a fiancée visa so I was a newlywed (we married only the month before this aired for the first time) and it reminds me of everything being so different and new to me. It was fun listening to the different accents and learning where they came from, understanding the cultural references, the different music and fashions...

I never did see This Life+10 because I only heard bad things about it and I don't want it to sully my opinion on such a fantastic tv show.

It always pleases me when my American friends are shocked when they hear Andrew Lincoln speak in his natural voice and they are surprised he's no Georgia native with a southern drawl. I always remark that I "knew" him from ages ago on This Life...sigh.
