Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

This Life was created by Amy Jenkins and revolved around a group of young lawyers sharing a house. Debuting in 1996, it drew attention for its rather relaxed attitude to sex (especially homosexual sex) and drug taking.

The housemates:

Milly: Solicitor, in a relationship with Egg. Cheats on him with her boss.

Egg: In a relationship with Milly. Starts off as a solicitor before quitting and getting a job in a cafe.

Miles: Barrister, bit of a dick. Secretly in love with Anna.

Anna: Barrister, her desire to succeed is matched only by her ability to screw up. Secretly in love with Miles.

Warren: Barrister, gay, loses his job over an incident in a public toilet.

Ferdy: Motorcycle courier, somewhat confused about his sexuality. Has a one-night stand with Warren and rejects him. Moves into the house when Warren goes abroad.

A ten-year reunion special was broadcast in 2006. Reactions were less than positive, with most feeling the special was a poor shadow of the original series. The fact that the plot, which had the cast going to stay at a country house in the aftermath of a funeral, was a little too close to the plot of Peter's Friends didn't help matters much.
