The British "Friends"
2 December 2006
The best way I can summarise this show is that it is the British version of "Friends", documenting the interweaving lives of five young adults. It is consistently sharp and witty, with a good twist of eccentric for good measure.

It takes scathing digs at celebrities, is unashamedly sexist, and is not afraid to use swear-words in the right places. It includes references to cult figures of yesteryear, which people in the characters' age group will appreciate. All of this is done to humorous effect very well.

The characters are fresh and modern, yet somehow feel very real and familiar. It also features some nice totty of both genders. ;-) Although it may be true that not everyone will like this show, I would recommend that you give it a try - repeats are still being shown regularly on BBC Three.
