Recensioni in evidenza
The cast were well balanced and it was fantastic not to be swamped by the star syndrome. Meurig played by Iwan Rheon just about stole it with his sensitivity, vulnerability and imitation of a boy who went up a mountain as a boy and came down as a man.
The surprising use of humour without being smutty was the master stroke. ( Oops ...see it's almost impossible to avoid double entendres ). The variety of outcomes for the not famous five was very different and yet believable. A great body of work from writer Matthew Barry and director Ashley Way.
Well this was a real bolt out of the blue, a reminder if exactly what The BBC is capable of, as though it came from a time where The Beeb truly was delivering first class, pioneering drama.
It's very funny, it's very moving, not so much a taboo subject now as it would have been back in the 90's, but still a very sensitive area for many men.
Pete and Alice's story was very sad, Meurig's story was perhaps the highlight for me.
Chewed up tapes from Blockbuster, M People, Blur, they brought back 1994 as if it were yesterday. It was a terrific production, credit to the team involved.
I know I'm biased, hailing from this great City, but Swansea looks awesome, they picked some great locations for filming.
What can you say about the cast, phenomenal performances, Paul Rhys, Iwan Rheon, Alexandra Roach, all of them.
Swansea's finest, Joanna Page, what can I say, nothing but sheer adoration, talk about sincere, genuine and wonderful.
9/10.

- QuizThe drama is based on the real life trials of Sidenafil, sold under the brand name Viagra, which had been developed by Pfizer to alleviate the symptoms of heart disease. Testing had indicated shown that men who had previously been impotent were now able to achieve an erection. The trials shown in the drama were undertaken in real life at Morriston Hospital in Swansea in 1994. The drama is a fictionalised account based on the information Dr David Price, one of the doctors involved in the trial, was able to relay about the trial.
- BlooperMeurig tells Ffion that he has rented Jurassic Park and Schindlers List. Schlinders List was released in UK cinemas in spring 1994 and would not have been available on video in winter 1994 when the trial takes place.
