Talk:This Life (1996 TV series)

Miles / Whithurst Park
"He [Miles] now lives in Whithurst Park, a huge house in Sussex, with his Vietnamese second wife Me Linh."

Miles may have rented Whithurst Park for a time; it is now occupied by the owner, Richard Taylor and his partner Rick Englert. cf: Sarah Lonsdale, Green property: heat pumps. Daily Telegraph. London. 9 June 2010. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/greenproperty/7810874/Green-property-heat-pumps.html.

The estate appears to have been owned by Richard Taylor in 2004 -- "Robbie (Williams) is then expected to rent the home, owned by entrepreneur and farmer Richard Taylor, for about six months so he can take some time out from his hectic schedule. " (http://archive.theargus.co.uk/2004/2/3/118488.html) And it is still owned by Richard Taylor in 2010.

So I modified the sentence. Someone may wish to track down where Miles currently lives, if that is of interest. Randal Oulton (talk) 08:07, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Locations and tubes
Anyone know where their house is supposed to be? In Eipsode one there's a shot with "Benjimen Street" as their street -- however this is in EC1 near Farringdon, which would mean them having to make 2 tube changes to get to Chancery Lane where they work in the morning -- and surely it would just be quicker to walk? I'm sure I saw somewhere they were supposed to live south of the river? --'specially since we sometimes see shots of them walking over London Bridge from the south.
 * I walk past the house regularly. It is on the south side of Southwark Bridge. Essexmutant 17:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Episode guide
Do we have permission to use that material? There is a a lot lifted from a website. Crediting it is not enough! The JPS talk to me  09:50, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Self contradictory
Production: When the first series was screened it was a modest critical success Broadcasts: The original run of the first series in 1996 was neither a critical nor a ratings success

Well which is it?2A00:23C4:3991:3200:60B2:62BF:9856:A054 (talk) 16:31, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Egg's (and Jerry's) surname
The article says Egg's surname is Cook but his dad Jerry is listed as Cooke. I think it's a safe bet their names should be spelled the same. The end credits and the BBC page don't actually say, but IMDB shows both as Cook. 49.226.242.165 (talk) 09:42, 8 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Ok replying to myself... just saw +10 where Egg's full name "Cooke" is visible on the spine of his book in a couple of scenes. 49.225.104.108 (talk) 08:17, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
