Praise indeed Richie. That was EE in its heydey not only were they not afraid to tackle controversial issues (as Homosexuality was back then) but they had writers who were capable of making the stories brilliant unlike the twits that appear to be writing todays nonsense. Dare I say the actors were much better then, brought in because of their acting abilities rather than their teen-appeal. (No offence intended to anyone between 13 and 19)

If you were writing such trash would you want it publicised in advance
