  • Writer: Craig Storper

CGiii Comment

Bog standard TV drama - made when Baio was popular.

Don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed.

A heavy-handed script with the emphasis on the reaction of the straight best friend.

The usual - I'm not going into a shower with a fag - tiresome now...and, possibly, then.

Let this disappear into the mists of time.
