CGiii Comment

It certainly pushed the boundaries - some would say too far for mainstream TV...but, those are the puritans.

A series like this only comes around once in a while.

And....it is groundbreaking stuff - not only in subject matter...but, in the amateurish lack of talent on display.

Not one of the main actors can be commended - wooden line delivery...

Hunnan has gone on to do bigger (not necessarily better) things...has no-one noticed that this pretty face has no dramatic talent?!?

Craig Kelly...still a jobbing actor...his spotlight really did end with this.

Gillen has gone on to do some interesting work - he was the best out of a bad bunch.

It only lasted for 10 episodes (unlike its American cousin)...still, through the mists of time - it will be remembered fondly.


Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

Two gay friends, Vince and Stuart, live on a cocktail of sex, drugs and clubbing. They are both 29, and Stuart is the type of guy who cops off every time he goes out. One night, he spots 15-year-old Nathan, and brings him back to his apartment where they make love. Now, Nathan is still after Stuart, but Stuart just thinks of Nathan as one in a long line of one night stands.
