This Girl's Life


Best news I've heard all month I think - the BBC are planning to reunite the cast of This Life!

I know you'll piss yourself with joy about this Fragglehump but those of you who haven't the foggiest what I am going on about you can read a little bit about it here:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/ilove/years/1996/tv1.shtml

This Life was possibly (definately) one of the finest shows to come out of the UK but only ran for two series. Sensible maybe as some shows have a tendancy to run and run and run (Friends) and not keep quality consistent. It also launched Andrew Lincoln the Ewan McGregor of TV (ALWAYS has his butt out, and very nice it is too).

Anyhow, they describe it as a British version of Ally McBeal mixed with Friends, which annoys me as it was so much more than those shows.

Best characters were, without a doubt: Egg (Andrew Lincoln), Anna (Daniela Nardini) and Kira
(Luisa Bradshaw-White)

BBC Website says this:

This Life again

BBC to revive show for one off special.

When we last saw Milly, Egg, Anna, Miles and Warren, there was a huge punch-up at a wedding.
You'll be startled to hear that that was nearly ten years ago.


To celebrate the fact that our twenties have sped past faster than a bisexual bike courier, the BBC are in very early talks to do a reunion episode. Like the Dynasty one. With hopefully as much slapping.

It'll answer all those questions left dangling - did Milly and Egg patch it up? Have Anna and Miles moved on? Did Warren lose that beard? Is Ferdy still trapped in the toilet with a Scottish plumber?

A nation looks a bit startled.

Hurrah!!

Good for you!!! It's nice when they bring back a show you really liked!

I never watched "Ally McBeal" but I am guilty of being a "Friends" junkie (or used to be before the series ended.)

Now, as you well know...I am a "LOST junkie...;)
