Trivia:
Author Simon Doonan wanted the writer Jonathan Harvey to feel free to be liberal and "surprise him" with his scripts; he only requested that the names be changed, as he felt the series should be inspired by his story, not literally his story. moreFAQ

I thought the first episode was very engaging with some great characters and laugh out loud funny. It is so hard to create a whole universe in one episode, introduce the characters and have time for a story but it really worked.
As one review put it, it is not just gay friendly it is gay delirious, it is the story of Simon growing up in the 80's, wearing dresses, battling his family and school friends with the help of his best friend Kylie (or Kyle as he is really called!).
When was the last time a British comedy actually had great lines and delivery? Excellent fun.
