From Wikipedia

"High Times is a Scottish comedy drama on STV, based around the lives of two flatmates and their neighbours in a high-rise tower block in Glasgow, in the last weeks before its closure for renovation. There are six episodes of stories interlinking the lives of a number of families.

The first High Times won a BAFTA Scotland award in 2004 for Best Scottish television drama and was shortlisted for the 2005 Rose d'Or and Prix Italia television awards. In the same year it also won the award for Best Drama Series at the Celtic Film and Television Festival.

Series one began a re-run on STV from Thursday 12 June 2008 at 10.40pm, airing weekly, with a brand new series beginning on 24 July. The first series has been sold to various stations in South America, where it has become one of the continent's most watched television series."

Has anyone else seen this? If so, what did you think of it?

It was quite a slow paced sitcom but it has its moments. You can watch all 12 episodes from series 1 and series 2 on the STV video player. (if anyone's interested!)

The article you've quoted from describes it as a "comedy drama", so I'm moving this thread.

I have to say the fact that this has not had a thread up until now says it all really. It could be great if you get into it, but I've never managed to get that far with it. The over-played 'this is the new Charles Dickens, but not really' overtones really put me off.
