Queer As Folk
Sep. 18th, 2003 10:58 pmE4 are reshowing it. And when I say Queer as Folk I mean the real, proper, actual UK version.
I really do wish the US version would have a different name because, whether it is good or not, it is not Queer As Folk.
I think half my problem is that QAF was the first programme that I watched that me and my friends would be all 'OMG did you watch it last night' over. There are happy memories attatched that have nothing to do with the actual programme.
Those were the days, three of us cackling like witches, talking about how Stuart was a bastard, fun, attractive, borderline adorable, but even so a bastard, and how Vince was an idiot again, adorable, real, but still an idiot. And random discussions as to whether or not Vince should stay with Cameron.
The only thing we all totally and completely agreed about was that Nathan should shut up.
If a programme hasn't got the same characters, how can it have the same name?
Another reason that it is a programme close to my heart, other than the characters (BTW how can I not love Vince, he's a fellow Dr. Who fan/sadcase) is the setting. It's set in Manchester, not somewhere poncy down South. Therefore because I grew up in this area it clicks more.
And the music and the acting and the sheer out and out wow of it. I'm always tempted to catch the US version, but then I see pictures of their version of the unholy trio and I think, no, they aren't right. It's a fucking crazy reaction and I realise I should give them and it a go but I can't.
I should be going since it's about to start.
