Their Life
Wednesday, January 03, 2007
The BBC decided to make an anniversary edition of This Life ten years after the original programmes finished. In an attempt to help us all learn what happened next. (I smell a DVD box set!)Anyway it was actually really great to see all those wonderful characters back on screen - although I do still hate Egg! Anna was as fiery as ever, you still felt sorry for Milly, Warren still needs a kick up the ass and Miles, well what can you say about Miles...
This Life came around at the right time for me - I was just leaving home, getting in touch with my sexuality etc and to see such lively, vibrant and real characters on screen was a revelation. Nothing had ever been produced or written in such a fashion and nor do I feel that anything has managed to match it since.
It's good to see that even ten years on not much has changed. I think it's very true to life that of all the members who were training to become lawyers, only one of them stuck to it. How many of us train to do one thing and end up doing something else?
Of course a number of the actors (especially Jack Davenport), haven't really been off our screens since This Life ended but I wonder what the others have been up to during the decade that has passed.
It was top notch drama from the BBC though. I just wish there was more programmes on TV like this (and less of the This Life pretenders that have crept into it's place).
