I love Doctor Who too. How long have you been watching, and who's your favourite Doctor?
![]() Favourite Dr?? Hmm!! Probably would have to be David Tennant with Billie Piper, for the humour he brought, but I actually really loved last year's series with Peter Capaldi & Jenna Coleman!! Never a big Matt Smith fan tbh!! Liked Christopher Eccleston too!! |

Am I allowed to ask?
![]() By 'both' I assume you mean the UK version? ![]() I did exactly the same about 7 or 8 months ago - what a treat! Yeah just the UK version as somebody had kindly put both series up on YouTube and moulded them into one 4 hour movie .It's actually a really good show, very groundbreaking and believable characters. There is good humour in the script also and the depiction of Canal Street is true to life. When watching though it almost became a game of 'spot the actors' as the actors who played Vince, Alexander and the drug dealer have been in Corrie, Vince's mum and Phil (who died from taking drugs) have also been on Emmerdale! |

Grace's friend is Carmel, and basically Steph had been saying mean things to Carmel for a while, leading to her self-harming. Connie called Social Services and contacted Carmel's absent father, and Steph was angry so was chasing her and I'm sure you saw the rest?

The British QAF was absolutely revolutionary in its time and improved the representation of gay men across all British TV, if it interests you should definitely see it, it's fantastic TV

Coventry in Warwickshire. Right next to Birmingham, and - as hard as it is to admit - a 25 minute drive from the shithole that is Nuneaton. (no offence to any Nuneaton people, although I doubt you'll admit it!

I did some research about the show after I found out the writer, Russell T Davies, also wrote Channel 4's 'Cucumber' which aired last year. I then decided to watch it for no particular reason, seemed really good.
Yeah just the UK version as somebody had kindly put both series up on YouTube and moulded them into one 4 hour movie .It's actually a really good show, very groundbreaking and believable characters. There is good humour in the script also and the depiction of Canal Street is true to life.

Series 2 went a bit 'weird' but I think it worked well given the different format. Another thing that stands out is how open the show was in its depiction of underage sex. Stuart was nearly 30 and Nathan just 15 yet in the first episode most characters make a joke about them having slept together: "You're not the only one who had a child tonight". This was at a time when the legal age of consent for homosexual sex was still 18. I cannot imagine a scene like that airing today. So many scenes from QAF will stick with me forever. The two biggies, which I think are two of the show's most well-known scenes are Stuart rimming Nathan and then Nathan wanking off Christian in the changing rooms. I also love the scene when Nathan struts into school to 'Sexy Boy' by Air. Just like you, I rewatched it after watching Cucumber/Banana to see how Russel T Davies had developed over the years. QAF was much more 'in your face', which was actually very much the late 90s style, whereas Cucumber was far more understated and mature. In fact, I think that Cucumber is far more powerful than QAF. I'm still making discoveries about Cucumber over a year later. Vince's mum (Hazel) was also in Corrie in the early 90s. She also made the ghostly cameo in Lance's episode of Cucumber, playing the same character. |
