[QUOTE="James from London, post: 107665, member: 22"] I loved this when I first saw it back in the day and then again when the DVD came out about ten years ago. It's always stayed with me. The characters just break your heart. As Ome said, David Morrissey's a big star now -- I've just watched his stint in [I]The Walking Dead[/I] -- but he still retains the grittiness he had in [I]One Summer[/I], which was his first ever job. I often wondered what happened to the fella who plays Icky so it's really nice to hear the two reunited on the DVD commentary. And there's also some interesting stuff there about Willy Russell's ambivalent relationship with the series. (On the remote chance that you haven't seen Russell's [I]Educating Rita[/I], Mel, the film version is definitely worth a look.) Icky to Billy: "If I could be anyone, I'd be you. Sometimes I f***in' hate you." [/QUOTE]
