Because he's worth it!

Myself and Super Lisa sat down to watch This Life + 10 yesterday evening just like so many other late 20's early 30's did.

I thought it was splendabulous coz following two fantastic series with a 1 hour 20 min show 9 years later must have been a tall order.

I liked the way they managed to interweve current popular music (The Killers and Kaiser Chiefs) into the background of the scenes aswell as reminding us of the haunting melodies of Portishead (Circa 1997) in the old series.

Of course, this small slot could never match the memories we have of the show all those years ago, but I think that the characters remained pretty much the same.

Egg was a wet dreamer.
Warren was confused but pretending not to be.
Milly was a crazy ass, hormonal bunny boiler type.
Anna was psychologically and physically on her own.

and Miles was still a total middle class Tory Wanker.

Of course, they all looked a little older...... Wait a minute, no they didn't.

Andrew Lincoln doesn't seem to have aged one day. Has he invented some sort of This Life time machine?

I'd like to say that I hope I look as good as him at his age but I already am his age and look old enough to be his Dad.

What's your secret Andrew?

Now some of my friends back home in Sunny Bournemouth are probably thinking or most likely shouting at the screen right now (you know who you are Leigh and Darren).

They'll be shouting something like "you're so fucking gay Jones".

Well, I do dance like a big gay bear when i've had a couple of red bulls, but A.L. is not really my type.

That honour has to be reserved for pretty boy Depp.


Keira Knightley, KEIRA FUCKING KNIGHTLEY i said.
Pheww.

Ok, where was I, oh yes Andrew Lincoln and This Life.

So, in conclusion, where the Fuck was Ferdy? He was probably in more episodes than Warren was.

Why weren't you there?

You were as much an integral part as the other 5.

Anyway, thanks for the effort, and despite what was said in That Life, the after show how we made this documentary documentary, it has brought some much needed closure for me.

Great days.

I did miss the very start but surely Ferdy would have been in it if he wanted. Just change the storyline slightly. He wanted too much money or didn't want to be in it me thinks.
