Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Thinking about that "game over" screen for more than it takes to read it.

  • The guy "steals to keep his habit", but he is a seller. While selling and dealing aren't opposing ends, the fact that he must steal to keep his habit while dealing is very odd.

The sudden move in location

  • When the filming of the series was outsourced to BBC Liverpool in 2003, the entire setting changed from a very realistic rendition of East London (not an area known for it's wildlife) to a very green area. The effect was kind of jarring, and never remarked upon by any of the characters or indeed anyone at The BBC. I vaguely remember the previous season had burned down/blown up the school for some reason, but no ammount of rebuilding could achieve that!
