5.0 out of 5 stars Bob and Rose, 2 May 2004
This is one of the best TV shows i've ever seen in my life. The story of a gay man who falls in love with a straight woman is made better here by the utilisation of such actors as Alan Davies and Leslie Sharp. The two work together so well it's completely believable that they are a couple. The story charts the problems in their relationship as they struggle to make it together, and inevitably ends with some drama and suspense. Definitely one to watch, anything with Alan Davies rocks

5.0 out of 5 stars The missing link in the Russell T Davies canon..., 17 Aug 2006
By DL Evans "dewievans95" (Swansea, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Russell T Davies, currently at the height of his powers as head writer and producer of Doctor Who, is enjoying wide-spread acclaim of late. This series doesn't seem to have become the massive success that his Queer as Folk, The Second Coming or even Dark Season attained however. Indeed, many who haven't seen it often dismiss it as "Jonathan Creek being gay on ITV". It's easy to see why - the series doesn't really add anything as new or immediately different as the hedonism of Folk or the apocalypse of Second Coming. But it is, in its own way, utterly brilliant.

Funny and charming, the story of a gay man who falls in love with a woman is beautifully acted and amazingly astute in its social observation (probably because it's very loosley based on the experiences of a gay friend of Davies'). The two leads are great, but the supporting cast (most notably Penelope Wilton as Bob's eccentric mother and Jessica Stevenson as his jealous best friend) are also extrordinary.

It's also shamelessly optimistic and uplifting, with some wonderful make-you-smile moments, aided by the lovely score. Its aim is to demonstrate how even the most ordinary, everyday scenario can yield the most wonderful things. In this it is an unqualified success - the final monologue makes you almost tearful it's so beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 26 Jul 2005
I can't rate this highly enough. I loved the show when it was on TV and still regularly watch the DVD.
Bob and Rose tells the story of a gay man and a stright woman who fall in love. However, they have to overcome their own problems, the prejudices and actions of their friends, and the feelings of their parents.
Every single actor in this was perfectly cast, all suited their roles brilliantly. They managed to make the sub-plots almost as enticing as the main one.
Even though I know how it ends, every time I watch it it's like I'm seeing it for the first time.
One of the best shows in recent years.
