Added DiffLines:

* SeasonalRot: Although not divided into "seasons" as such, many fans felt the series declined rapidly from around 2000 until its eventual cancellation in 2003. The show went from being a thrice-weekly staple of Creator/Channel4, showcasing some of the most controversial storylines of its day, to a Saturday afternoon slot with stories as mundane as Alan trying to give up smoking, in a ham-fisted attempt to reverse the SequelEscalation in plots since the series' mid-90s heyday. Viewing figures declined in tandem with the storylines.

Added DiffLines:

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: The series is best known as the soap opera set in Liverpool where Creator/AnnaFriel kissed another girl. One of the first acknowledgments on British TV that lesbians existed, and avant-garde for its time.
