      [Roy has just rammed Stuart's car after spotting him kissing his son]

      Stuart Alan Jones: What the fuck are you doing?

      Roy Maloney: Fifteen! That boy is fifteen!

      Stuart Alan Jones: So? The car is only six months old and you've still buggered it.

    British more believable than America.
    Down in Brasil, they aired the Portuguese dubbed US version of this show, and I hated it (and yes, I am male and attracted to guys). I just thought it was ugly, stereotypical and just a downright humorless gloom fest.

    However, my friends showed me the UK version. I was hesitant at first, but I gave it a chanse. In fact, I love the UK version way much better than the USA version. Good acting, actual fleshed out characters, and some humor thrown in here and there (unlike the other one). Yeah, even thouhg some of the gay men here party and are sexually aroused, but this time they are more portrayed as humans and not stereotypes (and yes, in the UK, those are ACTUAL gay people, from what I heard).

    Only if they air the show on Brasil TV and play it in Portuguese even.
