This Life is back ! ! ! ! ! ! Great news, while I already knew that they were going to do a Christmas special 10 years on This Life is going to be back on our screens on Monday night. This Life was an inspiration to me as a teenager in the provincial hinterland in the mid 1990s. These fantastic sexy young people having a great time without the big bad I said no telling them when to go to bed. Instead of life as a kid it was the pleasures of adulthood, sure their were set backs but it was you who was the master of your own destiny. Something that appealed to a 16 year old from Bath living with their parents.

I would like to think that the inspiration was other young people making their independent way in the world and not the debauchery but then I was a teenage boy so I suspect the debauchery had somthing to do with it.The Daily Mail was appalled by the 'simulated sex between homosexuals' though i'm not sure whether it was the sex between homosexuals or the simulation of it that was getting their goat. Personally I thought the sex between the hetrosexuals was pretty good to.

Anyway it was a fantastic series, I even got into the close up camera angles, and I for one will be glued on Monday. The scary thing is that soon it will be a whole decade since I left school. Roll on summer 2008.  ¶ 3:15 pm
