I'm usually the first to leap to British drama's defence, but I saw this the other night too and was quite taken aback at how bad it is.

Its far-fetched, ludicrous storylines and really excecrable acting must make it one of the poorer shows on TV today. Having Tina Hobley and Patsit Kensit 'Healy' in the cast really doesn't help its cause either. Robert Powell looks like a walking skull and Lesley Ash in those outsize glasses and outsize lips looks frankly absurd.

Storylines are always bonkers - it's known as Planet Holby in certain circles - but really, it's gone too far. It's utterly ridiculous.

It is obviouse how it got this title. Lesley Ash must have one hell of an agent, with those lips she could transform the Diary of Ann Frank in to a comedy.

...to the point where she has to catch up on Iplayer if she misses an episode, so I end up catching quite a bit of it. I can confirm that Patsy Kensit is atrocious, but am not sure why Tina Hobley has been singled out above... she's not that bad is she? (I admit, I do have a bit of a soft spot for her...) Five Centres' description of Powell as a 'walking skull' is spot on though.

Some of the scripts remind me of this gem from Friends' Drake Ramoray: "I'm delivering twins today, but only one of them is mine..."

why? That's all I want to know....just why do people do that? Steven Tyler's got a lot to answer for.

I gotta see this

off the Eastenders still in it? He did very well on Celebrity Mastermind with Captain Beefheart as his specialist subject.

Seen a screencap of Leslie Ash. She looks like her own Spitting Image puppet. Very sad cos there was bugger all wrong with the way she looked as God made her.
