This is one of the most important films ever made, 4 May 2001

Author: jfellows1 from Norfolk, England

I watched this programme when I was eleven and it has stuck in my mind for seven years! I thought it was and still is a very important and gripping film, that brings its audience to tears of laughter and sadness. One of the greatest programmes I have ever seen. Absolutely fantastic.
