I've been enjoying watching the re-run of This Life. Sometimes when you watch a program that you remember with affection the second viewing spoils things. The program can turn out not to be as good as you remember. Not so with This Life. Its just as fresh and entertaining and it was the first time.I particularly enjoyed watching Milly (Amita Dhiri) for no better reason than that I thought and still think she is gorgeous.I just discovered today that she was born in Brighton in 1968. I lived in Brighton from 1974-76. I wonder if I ever walked passed her when she was a very young school girl. Its a curious thought.(c) Hal Westhead 2005
It's amazing how many people are looking for Amita Dhiri. Well, no, it's not really amazing. This Life is being screened again on BBC2 and the delectable Amita (as Milly) is there in the thick of it. Tempted by O'Donnell, wanting to scratch out the eyes of Rachel, and terminally unable to express her feelings. Yet absolutely delectable.I think the only character who appears to be a well-rounded human being is Kira. It's an interesting piece of writing. Kira is the person who has probably been least successful academically, is possibly the youngest character (not sure about that) and is working as a general 'goffer' in a solicitor's office, yet she has the most mature humanity.(c) Hal Westhead 2005
