I Love 1996
TV

Daniella Nardini and Jack Davenport


This Life

A group of attractive, badly-behaved lawyers live in a posh house in London and spend their time engaged in emotional crises, usually over wanting to sleep with each other.

It was a British ThirtySomething, Friends and Ally McBeal all rolled into one. Shot mainly in jerky close-ups and intercut with trendy music of the time, it had gained huge ratings by the end of the decade.

Producers wisely pulled the plug just as the stars' popularity began to outgrow the soap and other networks began throwing money at Daniella Nardini, Andrew Lincoln and company.
