I believe this series has been mentioned here before, but I read on amazon today that the DVD of this will be released next month.
Strongly recommended, excellent series, similar to "This life"

North Square
Also replete with Clash references as I recall. Don't they lip-synch Bankrobber in a changing room at some point?
Around the same time was an even shorter-lived series called Attachments, possibly again from the This Life team, set in a failing dotcom start-up.
A Suit is brought in to sort them out, much to their hipster disgust, and they try to hack into his e-mail. After a couple of unsuccessful tries they type in s-t-r-u-m-m-e-r and bingo, they're in. Quite plausible, I thought (How come? Guess).
Good news
I thought i was the only one who remembered North Square.
Made a nice change to see Leeds as a vibrant and glamourous location. It's not all flat caps, Alan Bennett and 'Mam e's killed me kestrel' tha knaws.
