The return of This Life

[Newmanseye]

I have been informed that This Life will be returning to our screens at Christmas, I loved that show and really cant wait to see how they get the gang back together.

[CelticGeezeer]

This life has been on for the last two weeks every night, I think it has now finished.

I almost posted about this last week. Top show! Great ending to series 2 as well - why did they stop making it?

No Idea mate,

Does anyone remember the name of the bad that did the theme tune for This life, I had it on the old computer but its lost now.

yeah it's being repeated two episodes per night - just into the start of series two now.  Not sure when the Christmas special is on, but I can't wait.  forgot how much I fancied Miles!

I'm also eagerly awaiting this one off.

Some of the people involved with have said that they stopped after series 2 because it was so good they didn't want to ruin it by dragging it out, and other statements to that affect.

However, I remember at the time there was more talk of the rather more prosaic reason that they hadn't tied enough people into a contract for a third series to make it viable.

its funny watching the re-runs at the moment on bbc2, I was an avid viewer of both series when they were first shown. (not too many people watched series 1 first time around, but it started its run just after "our friends in the north" had finished, so that was how I picked up on it).

Whats funny, is that I am obviously 10 years older now, rather than the same (approx) age as the characters and basically think they are total assholes, especially Miles and Milly. This is obviously a different viewpoint to 10 years ago when I thought they were all so cool !

It will be interesting to see the christmas special "10 years on", as again they will be of a similar age to myself, so will be able to see any changes to them.

oh, and the band that did the theme tune were called "no way out".

Like Rod, I am finding it interesting how my view of the characters have changed.  When it was first shown I was 21 or so and probably a bit of a 'know it all'. I remember really disliking Anna, but I think she's great now!

OI!!! I object to that! Confuse me for Brad Pitt, fine, but for Laz?!?!     

Palestine!

my sincere apologies Rod.  you scots all look the same to me (joke by the way)

Jack Davenport is a fine actor..even better when he was alongside Sarah Alexander in "Coupling"!

Andrew Lincoln is good too, excellent in "Teachers"

I always thought Milly was insufferable, always had a soft spot for Anna.

Excellent programme.
