What happens

This Life is a BBC television drama that was produced by World Productions and screened on BBC Two. Two series were broadcast from 18 March 1996 to 7 August 1997, with a later reunion special on 2 January 2007. It centres on a group of law graduates in their twenties, embarking upon their careers while sharing a house in south London. There are no courtroom scenes in either the first or second series, and only one brief scene in the TV sequel. The show became a popular word-of-mouth hit and was included on BFI's list of the 100 greatest British television programmes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
