Junkies

David Quantick, over on Twitter, reminded me the other day of his online sitcom Junkies. It starred Sally Phillips, Peter Serafinowicz, Kevin Eldon, and Peter Baynham. It was written by David and Jane Bussman, and appeared on the internet in 2000.

But look at it now, decades later, all crisp and lovely. And well worth a watch.
