Has it only been five years? Gosh, it seems much longer than that. It's hard to remember just how ground-breaking and shocking it seemed at the time, with the tabloids frothing about it, and watching each episode on the TV in the loft to avoid having embarrassing conversations with my parents...
Don't remember many people swooning after Stuart, though his "I believe in fucking, not love" attitude does have a certain Randian charm. Vince stole everyone's heart iirc. Brian-and-Justin, Stuart-and-Nathan's equivalents in the American series (season four just started), make more sense as characters/a relationship, but then we've had the best part of sixty episodes to get to know them, so it's hardly surprising there's been more development than in the paltry 6+2 episodes of the UK original.
