This is an uncommonly honest, realistic, and passionate portrayal of gay relationships ... not particular to the UK at all. Originally shown on British BBC television as an original mini-series, unlike any which one would see in the USA, it is sexually graphic at times, honest in its characterisations, and very well acted and constructed. The queer folks, whose lives we follow, I genuinely cared for on many levels, and felt the emotion of their circumstances. I saw the programme during my visit to England in March 1999. Largely, it was well received by the viewing public in the UK. I could imaging what the bible belters would do if it were on American TV!! Yes, it's realistic and quite well worth seeing.
