Undescribable Perfection

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

This was a great series. It provided good competition for other dramas like Grange Hill and Byker Grove, and was such a fresh and original idea for a drama, brought to the screen in a savourable enjoyable way by the BBC. Why did it end? It was so gripping, and spawned quite a few adult actors like Paul Nicholls of EastEnders and Nathan Constance, now in Bad Girls.
