Off to the hunt in Manchester’s “Gay Village”! Stuart is rich, good-looking and at least as charming as he is arrogant. He could have any guy he wants, and it seems that that is exactly what he wants to do. Vince, a friend from Stuart’s since his childhood days, loves him, though Stuart doesn’t reciprocate. Then the 15 year-old Nathan pops up, seriously intent on losing his innocence. Europe’s first gay TV series – naturally from Channel Four, U.K.’s minority station with a majority reach. Nothing dogmatic, no finger-pointing, no great dilemmas, it is just fast-paced, cynical and cutting-edge – irresistible. That all the main roles are gay or lesbian is just as central as it is peripheral. Because: “Sex is, after all, just sex. The difference between hetero and homo is only a couple of inches in the dark.”
