I’ve always wanted to see it but was too young when it came out.

Hopefully it’ll live up to the hype and won’t seem too dated.

Thanks for this!

Oh I remember this the first time round! It probably will be a bit dated in terms of filming structure, but the emotional heart of it will win through. Yozzer 'giv us a job' and the Julie Walter's episode with the fiver found down the back of the sofa stayed with me all these years later.

Sadly, I thought we had left those days behind.
