Actually, there are plenty of rules. The structure's harder to see. The past seven months remind me of the nine months the Resident Fan Boy languished between jobs, a few years before we became parents.
I found my comfort then, as I do now, in a mixture of the new and the familiar.
This is one of my favourite scenes from the 2001 British comedy/drama series Bob and Rose. Written by Russell T Davies, it was a major reason I started watching Doctor Who -- aside from David Tennant, of course. Davies based his story on something that actually happened to a couple of his friends: a gay man who, to his astonishment, fell in love with a straight woman.
This is about halfway through the drama. Bob and Rose, seeing no future in their relationship have broken up about twice, and we overhear their inner thoughts while watching the dancers in their respective favoured nightclubs in Manchester.
Aside from the wit and the acting, I'm very enamoured of the music, which seems to be a dreamy mixture of Pachelbel and Orff.
