This Life 9.45pm BBC2
They're young, good-looking professionals, they enjoy drink, drugs and tangled relationships. They're the stars of This Life, a new drama series set in the law courts, wine bars and bedrooms of London - a promising British hybrid of Friends with a realistic edge.
Miles, Milly and her boyfriend Egg all studied law together and are now sharing a house as they pursue their careers with varying degrees of success. Unreliable income means they have to recruit two new sharers: enter Anna, who once had a brief fling with Miles and is desperate for a job at his chambers, and Warren, an ambitious law graduate currently on the lookout for a new boyfriend.
Amy Jenkins's script is a faithful rendition of her protagonists' lives complete with sex and swearing. The leads are fresh and likeable, and the camerawork zooms around in NYPD Blue style.
See page 8 for more facts of This Life.

Drama series about five old college friends who wind up sharing a house together as young lawyers. Anna attends an interview at a well-to-do firm of solicitors. Show more
