This Life at 20

Amazingly, 20 years have passed since the first episode of cult drama This Life was first broadcast on BBC2.

This is how the Radio Times welcomed the programme onto the scene, with a quickfire guide to the show's premise, which promised strong language and scenes of a sexual nature. Back in 1996, writer Amy Jenkins said the show - aimed at a younger audience - could offend more mature viewers.

This Life ran for two series and enthralled fans with tales of its house-sharing characters and their constant dramas. It acted as a launchpad for actors Jack Davenport and Andrew Lincoln in particular.

A decade after the first series, the original cast reassembled, and we had a chance to see what had happened to them during the intervening years.

Fans of the show still remember the show with fondness. Who was your favourite character? Let us know in the space below.
