    • Trivia
      Russell T. Davies originally wanted Christopher Eccleston for Stuart Alan Jones after seeing Our Friends in the North (1996). Eccleston auditioned, but ultimately declined the role, saying he felt he was "too old" for the part. When he withdrew, he recommended they audition Aidan Gillen. Ecclestone did work with Davies on The Second Coming (2003) and the first season of Doctor Who (2005).
    • Quotes

      [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.

    They can show this on cable? Wow...

    Just saw the first episode on Showcase last night... I guess I won't be getting to bed before midnight for the next few Mondays. This is a show worth staying up for... easily one of the best TV shows I've seen (not -the- best, but up there). I've heard it described as "gay drama", but that makes it sounds as if it's an agenda show (anyone ever watched "Christian movies"?)... it's gay... way gay... shockingly explicitly sexually gay... but above all it's good TV.

    And since it's out uncut in Canada, there may be hope for our more sensitive neighbour to the south :)
