[QUOTE="Richard Channing, post: 254504, member: 10"] Thought I better check this out to see what all the fuss was about and it didn't disappoint. Really a tour de force from Russel T. Davies. Having lost friends to AIDS this is a subject close to my heart so it was a very emotional watch for me. I've always been haunted by the thought of the gay men who lived through those times who watched their dearest friends die, one by one. Especially at a time when families were much less lightly to understand or accept their son being gay, so for many gay men their friends WERE their family. That was something that the show did a great job of showing, that sense of community and friendship. Like others have said it's a show that stays with you and I find myself still thinking about the characters today. Colin's demise was especially hard to watch. The actors all did a great job and I appreciated the much needed moments of joy and humour which offered some relief from the very hard hitting subject material. An excellent, powerful and important series with stories that need to be told and not forgotten. [/QUOTE]
