| BSG Review: |
An interestingly dark sitcom, How Do You Want Me? explored a number of areas others had not. Simon Nye's scripts fused comedy and drama well, and although some characters seemed a little thin and flat, the on-screen talent made the show work.
Definitely an interesting watch, if one gets the chance. |
| Notes: |
Charlotte Coleman (Lisa Lyons) died aged just 33, after suffering from a severe asthma attack, in November 2001.
