| | OFF THE TELLY: Reviews/2000/Hollyoaks |
 | | Through a deft combining of convention - tragedy, farce, melodrama, comedy, misunderstanding and spite - with quality scripts and performances, it's far and away the freshest, most involving, most relevant and exciting continuing contemporary serial on television. |
 | | As noted elsewhere, the occasion of this British TV first was afforded a late-night one-off timeslot to allow a level of imagery and language vital for such an act to be rendered convincingly on the small screen. |
 | | It is beholden, then, of Phil Redmond and his team to prolong this period of greatness for as long as they can. |
