Egg is such a cocklodger- he set the tone before that word was ever invented!

The jobcentre woman was great- very realistic! And the cold call centre boss- I remember jobs like that!

The arguments over the dishes reminded me of living in halls.

I love that Anna isn’t ‘slut shamed’ the way a young woman would be now.

Something I noticed was missing- they don’t have any student debts because they went to uni before tuition fees started.

Yep! He was being so unreasonable when he was talking to Milly upstairs during the house party!

Just got a reply from the BBC, no plans to show second series. Wtaf?!

IntermittentParps · 17/02/2020 14:19

That's SO weird Confused What was the thinking? Do they say? I bet they don't bother

Blondeshavemorefun · 17/02/2020 14:58

Why show s1 but not 2

Silly

Thanks for getting in touch with us about The Life.

At the moment we do not have a broadcast of the second series currently in our schedules, however it's feedback like this that shapes the future and direction of our scheduling decisions.

If the second series were to be broadcast, then information would be available on the programme's website here -

www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b00pft4t/this-life

We hope you enjoyed the broadcast of series one and thanks for taking the time to contact us at the BBC.

Why the hell not? That makes no sense Confused

WheresThatCatGoneNow · 17/02/2020 15:02

Series Two should have just started the following night after Series One ended.

That would have made sense!

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 17/02/2020 15:13

I know!!!!

IntermittentParps · 17/02/2020 15:18

How very odd.

I haven't even watched it this time round, and tbh am probably not going to, but it's such a silly decision I feel like emailing them anyway Grin

ChampooPapi · 17/02/2020 17:27

Amazing! Just seen this!

ChampooPapi · 17/02/2020 17:28

Can't wait to binge series one, haven't watch it since I was a teenager

Timeforachange68 · 18/02/2020 10:07

I emailed too - maybe if we all ask the question they might show series 2?

Loving watching this. Daniella Nardini is wonderful in it. Really dislike Warren's cousin. She needs to get her own life and stop trying to parasitise his

Totally agree on both counts. I really thought Daniela N would go on to be huge but I’ve never seen her in anything else!

I remember quite liking the Kira character at the time but watching it again, she is just so nosy trying to interfere all the time with Warren’s family-that would have been so annoying!

Working my way through series 1 on iplayer. Just seen Ferdy rebuff Warren after their night together and tell him he's getting married. Warren seemed very whiny first time round but I really like him now - and I'm much more sympathetic to Milly, having to carry Egg and his inability to do a job he can't treat like a hobby.

I finished series one yesterday and can't believe they've not put series two up as well! I didn't realise Jack Davenport was only about 22 at the time it was filmed. He's perfect as Miles - such an arse but you still would, wouldn't you?

If someone had told me in 1996 that it would be Egg rather than Anna who'd go on to be an international star then I wouldn't have believed them!
