Have just been reading the book from the original series, and know there was an update last year - which I missed. I've tried to googling it, but can't find anything about the characters, which makes me think a 'what happened next' type book might be out soon.

Did anyone see the update and if so, what happened to everyone?

Thanks

So many people ask about getting a boxed set, but now you can watch them all on youtube.
BBC missed a money making trick there - if the book was anything to go by, a set of DADs would have stormed the charts at the time.
it's funny, watching then
So. Fill your boots. We all look SO YOUNG!
the link for episode one is: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tLsceo8pwow

I think all the episodes are there, but if there are some missing, I don't think it's many.

I was v impressed with Colin’s butchery skills Julie! Had he been doing that before he got there?

Pellegrino
Yes, he was trained from a boy in his dad's butcher's shop! He worked for Baxters, the Co-Op and Gateway amongst others, honing his skills in the trade. He knew that those skills could get him onto Taransay and he was correct! Think of him now; he's had a stroke and is very poorly - but he's a fighter!

So sorry to hear that Julie. All my best wishes for his recovery.

Julie, I was so sorry to read of the news in The Sun this morning. Everyone who read that will be thinking of you and your family. May his memory be a blessing.

Heard the radio 4 reunion today. Well done to those who were so positive about what a fantastic opportunity it was - a unique opportunity. I wish they’d do something similar again and do a TV reunion programme.
