This Life - Season 2 (1997 Amy Jenkins)

The style isn't sustainable: everything in close up, whip pans, sudden edits. It's exhausting.

The Pantomime Bitch Queen turns up. Rachel - Natasha Little - is so passively grasping and insinuating we want to shout at her and hurl rotten eggs and fruit at her.

Egg has started work in a café. Millie is so nice to everyone - it's about time she wasn't. Then she has an affair and we go right off her

And Kira is trying to keep Joe at arm's length - will she push him away? Luisa Bradshaw-White was latterly in Eastenders for a mere 693 episodes. Steve John Shepherd was only in it for 314 episodes. We just saw him in the Silent Witness film Discovery - didn't even recognise him! And most recently in both seasons of Karen Pirie!

21 episodes, culminating in Miles marrying despite his wife being ten years older than himself and Egg finding out about Millie's affair (through the Pantomime Bitch, of course). Shame as Millie has finally seen the light about her slimy boss David Mallinson.
