Crazy nuts and all Huffed up


Life. Sometimes you wake up in the middle of it. And sometimes when you do you feel like Russell in Huff. It wasn’t about perfect characterisation. It wasn’t about brilliant storytelling. It certainly wasn’t about plots too convoluted to second-guess. Huff made for excellent, gripping, addictive television, nonetheless. Find out why, on Kaleidoscope: The Culture Channel.

I've got a theory: 'Huff' is affirmation and moral superiority for those of us who can't bring ourselves to watch reality TV.

And I love Russell too - someone should do a poll of the 'Most Loved TV Characters You'd Run Across Peak Hour Traffic To Avoid In Real Life'.

I was absolutely riveted by "Huff". For me, it worked well because it explored deep levels of emotion in relationships. Sure, it exaggerated them - that's what drama does - in order to highlight them, using crack-my-sides humour and teary tragedy in huge doses. I wonder if that is all there was? Surely not....?
