Debs: Thanks so much for your breakdown of the article. It was articulate and factual.

I think it was more of a blog though. The guys was just sharing his opinion. It wasn't based on fact of any sort. He came across as uninformed and biased. Plus…Aidan Gillen has a fantastic career as well.

If people can't or won't do video chat, Skype can be used as voice or text chat too. You can have live, up to the second conversations for free. It's great for people who don't use cell phones.

It must have been a blog. It was very biased.

I agree... Debs, your breakdown was great.

I'm seeing that blog posted all over the place now. I guessing that many newer QAF fans haven't watched UK QAF.

I wouldn't have known of it, if I wouldn't have been curious reading RT Davis in the credits..

and I think a lot of people bother to look for the origin of a show or its background

That article certainly reads as a detractor's opinion piece, which is fine. As long as no one believes those are facts.

But that is the sad thing... a lot of people believe everything they read, cause when it is printed it has to be true

**SojournHeart11** · 06-01-2016, 08:31 AM

Yep, sadly. Some people take things at face value and never double-check anything. Sad.

From one of my favorite youtube channels I follow, a list Mojo put together of the top 10 shows that were originally adapted from UK shows. Of course Queer As Folk made the list.

Denise - I came here to post this same link. Great fun to see QAF on here and a few great clips from both versions QAF and QAF-UK.

Thank you both for posting

I love seeing QaF when it's out of fandom context

I've just watched the whole vid .. and I never realised that the US House of Cards was based on the UK version .. that was aired such a long time ago

I'm not a fan of Ricky Gervais, but The Office was brilliant.

Oh and trivia point .. the blond guy in Til Death Us Do Part later became father~in~law to our long~serving PM Tony Blair!

Star11 · 06-04-2016, 11:15 AM

I had no idea some of those shows were based on UK shows... just happy to see QAF included!

I never realized how much of the foreign TV shows we've adopted as our own, but I think that's great. It means their stuff is REALLY good.

Came across this quote while browsing my timeline on Tumblr. Has this ever been posted before? I can picture this happening so well, and it is breaking my heart.

From a makeup artist who worked on QAF:

Quote:

"I will always remember that scene where Brian [Gale Harold] sees Justin [Randy Harrison] admitted to the hospital [after Justin was bashed]. I once read a quote from a director that said to always keep the camera rolling for 30 seconds after you call cut. That’s what they did. There’s a close-up of Gale and he was so in his own sorrow that his nose and eyes began to pour. I don’t think he was even aware they called cut. It was a powerful memory."

You mean OUR stuff is really good

OMB hun, I'm actually listening to Parce Mihi Domine as I clicked on this thread .. and that comment you posted would also resonate with Brian telling the guy to keep the camera rolling when they're doing the campaign ad for Stockwell .. just get that vulnerable part of someone that isn't doing it for the camera

Looking for news.

Denise: I have read that before. Thanks for posting it.
