From Daily Mirror...

MORE news from the This Life reunion, which hits BBC2 at Christmas.

Miles has made his fortune with a string of hotels and now spends his time driving a Range Rover and voting Tory.

Milly has had a baby, Josh, with her environmentalist partner, while Warren is a yoga-loving life coach.

Anna is a high-flying barrister but is now worried she's left if too late to have a baby. And Egg, who gave up on law ages ago, has turned into a top author.

The gang meet at Ferdy's funeral, where Miles invites them all back for a weekend at the posh country pile he shares with wife Francesca. A warm and cosy nostalgia-fest? We think not.

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness!!

I am so excited i might just puke. This Life is my favourite ever programme, and i was devastated when it finished. I thought that the reunion was just pie in the sky or something that wouldn't happen for years. To hear that it is going to be on in a few weeks is brilliant. I don't care if i have to cancel Christmas plans, i am watching it.

Actually, repeating the Series (starting tonight) makes a lot more sense now.

Very excited about the Xmas reunion!! I watched the series 1 repeats last night on BBC2 and it made me feel happy and sad at the same time - how can it have been 10 years since it first aired??

Laughed a lot at the mid-90's fashions ... but the series hasn't really dated at all. The excellant writing and direction and storylines still shine through.

I can't wait for the Christmas special. I still have all the episode on VHS somewhere at home. Iconic, original, ground-breaking and defined the mid 90s as far as I'm concerned.

Interesting to read that Miles is still with Francesca - I thought that would be gone within two years.

Inspired that Warren is a life coach considering the amount of time he spent in therapy.

Noooo, I wanted Miles back with Anna and for Milly to bugger off, could never stand that character.

[–] LovelyLabrys 18 years ago

I liked Warren.

I hope that Kira is in the new programme too because i thought she was really funny.

I also hope that Ferdy did not die of AIDS because that would be soooo obvious and easy - the 90's bisexual whose chickens come home to roost.

Maybe a motorcycle accident?

Pity Milly didn't drown in the bath.

[–] chyna-s 18 years ago

lol - I'll second that.

[–] bob-deniro 18 years ago

amen, she was an uptight bitch who just held Egg back.

"I'm drownin' here and you're describing the water!"

[–] nobodysperfect 18 years ago

I totally used to think that too. But now I can kind of see her point of view. Sheesh! Life finally got the better of me!

[–] JonnyRainbow 18 years ago

All seems to good to be true.

How come there are bailiffs listed on the IMDB cast page.

Maybe Miles has made a million and lost it again?

[–] babli_katerus 18 years ago

[–] aidious 18 years ago

I'm sure there's a website somewhere that lists all the shows actors have been in. I can't for the life of me remember the address though; I'll let you know when I remember.

After reading a big article on the Telegraph website, some things are different. It says on there that Milly and Egg are married and have a son and Miles isn't married to Francesca as that only lasted a few months. Hmm interesting.

[–] Digglarry 18 years ago

yeah, here .....

Thank you SO much for that Telegraph link. A fantastic article for utterly, utterly helpless This Life obsessives like myself.

Your welcome... although Im getting completely conflicting information from the BBC hg2 website!!

[–] frankiestar 18 years ago

I would really love to see Kira and Joe in it especially Kira as she was one of his best mates in the show she would definitely be at his funeral!!

[–] Lilac_Lover 18 years ago

Spolier alert....

I read in the weekly tv mag that Miles was on his second marriage to a young, beautiful asian lady but that he has a 'lotta love to give', owns a chain of hotels and has been travelling (hence the haircut!)

There is also something on digitalspy.com saying that they refilmed the ending which was Anna running after Miles naked except for high heels...that would have been interesting!

That Egg and Milly were back together (can't remember if it said that they had a child together)

Addict

If Anna and Miles don't get together at the end of this then I may have to kill myself. I never quite got over the fact that they didn't end up together after series 2.

[–] zippi892 18 years ago

In an interview the actress that plays Anna states that they filmed 2 endings one involving her running naked after Miles where they get together but that ending has been dropped, so they don't get it together. The creator of the show also confirmed this in an interview with the daily mails weekend magazine the week before christmas

[–] Breila 18 years ago

Nope - saw it last night and although they sleep together they don't end up together. She asks Warren to have a baby with her anyway. And Miles goes to Timbuktu - literally!
