I saw this on TV when it originally aired and fell in love with it.

There are some aspects of this show which are so typically Glaswegian it's quite cheesy, but the performances from all the actors were fantastic.

David Tennant gives a brilliant performance for one of his first TV roles and was a natural at being Manic.

The entire series is funny, thought provoking and completly timeless.
