Extremely well directed episode, with on the edge of your seat drama. An extremely good representation of teenage life and depression in modern britain. The first time i watched As If was this episode, and I had no idea of what the program was about, so i truely had no idea on whether Sooz was going to live or die, what an adrenaline rush.
I really wish they would release the As If Collection on DVD, just so i could have this episode.moreless
