Lip Service BBC Three

I must admit it a well written show even if all the girls are really cute and only have to look at another girl and the girl wants to jump into bed with them.

Agree with other I like Tess the best :D
 
There's loaRAB of beautiful lesbians around. So I don't see the problem with haviing very attractive women play lesbians. If it was gay men, you'd hardly have the fat ones who wear pvc having sex on the telly would you?
 
Irish, the actress even mentioned she watched Christine Bleakley in preperation for the role as she was supposed to be from the same part of Ireland as Lou. I'm not sure why they asked the actress to put on an Irish accent as opposed to a Scottish accent or to use her own accent.

I hope Lou comes back though, because surely that can't be her story over already. I want to know why she was involved with Tess when she was supposed to be "in love" with her co-host, Why did her co-host seem more pissed than surprised by the revelation of Lou's relationship with Tess, what will happen now her homewrecker status is revealed to the public. I'm far more interested in Lou that what will happen with OldCat and DullCop.

Oh and finally keep Sadie, she is awesome.
 
Apparently she was born in Canada, but sounded more N.Ireland to me.

Couldn't quite get Lou suddenly deciding to be bi-curious, conveniently just when Tess decided she was "gonna get laid" .

And Frankie- good at looking moody and beautiful, but can't warm to her as a character. But she does seem generously intent in providing sexual satisfaction to random women and not getting any in return.
 
Lou (Roxanne McKee) is supposed to have a Northern Irish accent in this.

Shane in the L Word also seemed to only want to satisfy others until she met Carmen. I'm expecting more of the same from Frankie until she and Cat get back together.
 
this program is dull and the people are just not good looking enough to compete with the likes of tlw.

the storylines are poor and the acting is poor- with tlw there were great characters like bette, tina, alice, dana you could connect to and even the ones that annoyed me like shane were compelling to watch. then they had the insanely pretty ones like carmen and marina and the randomness of jenny.

with this one we are stuck with frankie (trying to be shane, although i admit she is the best looking one), cat (who i do like) and then louise from hollyoaks and a babyfaced looking blonde girl, and the butch police woman.

you people need to discover pepa and silvia.

btw. im straight, so i dont watch these shows in the hope that i'll get representation...tlw was one of my favourite shows ever and thats because it was well written and acted.
 
I love Lou's character and think its so typical of women these days they may always feel attracted to women but never act upon it until later in life. Her and Tess would be great together when she's more comfortable in her own skin!!
 
The people who claim that "horny" men will watch it just for the sex must imagine men are incredibly stupid. Why sit through the dross plots/acting when internet porn in much more readily available and explicit. If I wanted to see naked lesbians I certainly wouldn't watch this stuff I would just go to Youporn instead.

I happen to think the writing and acting are pretty poor and I found it boring. I'd rather watch the L Word as I think that had a more interesting variety of characters. My main problem with the show is the excessive focus on the dull and cliched Frankie. The woman playing her is possibly the most expressionless and flat actor I've seen in some time and her plots bore me. Shane was bad enough, but her half-baked clone is awful. At least Shane did have the redeeming features of having really strong established frienRABhips with Bette/Tina/Alice. Frankie seems to wander aimlessly around the streets of Glasgow looking some kind of weird combination of stuck up meets sullen meets can't be arsed to move a facial muscle.

It's a shame because I kind of like some other parts of the show, I like Laura Fraser's character but her plot with the cop doesn't seem that interesting. I also like the Lou and Tess plot.Kill off Frankie and the show would improve greatly but then again if they did that the show would be about 25 minutes long as most of the show seems to comprise of her sulking around.

She's the most boring character on the show, why is so much time devoted to her?
 
But that isn't a problem with gay tv, it's a problem with ALL tv. Generally, only attractive people (especially women) are hired for anything to on tv, particularly something high profile that is looking for viewers. There are the exceptions here and there but generally this is the way it works.

Besides which, I don't think the characters in this show are super attractive. There are a few hot ones so far - Frankie definitely and Tess is ok. Apart from that, everybody seems pretty average to me - a couple less than average, perhaps. They're all a lot more average looking than anybody out of The L Word, for example.

To be honest, I don't care either way. It's nicer to watch attractive people getting it on than ugly people! That goes for any tv show, not just gay ones. So I'm not that bothered and I don't see any point in worrying about it because it certainly isn't going to change!
