Last year, As If celebrated 10 years since it came to an end on Channel 4. Digital Spy looks back on the cult series, speaking to several of the main cast about their memories of the show.

As If: 10 year retrospective of the cult Channel 4 teen drama - part 1

The sad fact with As If, is that it is almost impossible to track down today. The show has never been released on DVD, due to a copyright issue with the music. Without the music, it simply wouldn't be As If.

"Given the choice between no music so we can release the DVD, I'd choose the music," said Caroline Chikezie (Sasha). "They used to say the music was the seventh cast member, it was so important. It just took it to a whole new level. I guess it's worth not having a DVD release just to keep the music."

Back in 2001, the landscape of British teen dramas didn't continue much further than Byker Grove, Grange Hill and a relatively new soap called Hollyoaks.

Since then, we've had plenty of shows that focus on the lives of a group of youths, from Skins to Misfits to Made in Chelsea. But there was one show that arguably kickstarted the modern teen drama without getting the kudos it deserves, and that show was As If.

Last year marked the 10th anniversary since the series came to an end, and so Digital Spy decided to look back on the show and find out what happened to some of its main cast members.

As If launched on January 22, 2001 on Channel 4 in the midweek early evening slot, and was later repeated on Sunday afternoons on T4. From series two onwards, it stayed as a T4 staple, but maintained its young adult themes, running for...

Jemima Rooper has said that she would love an As If reunion.

The Atlantis actress starred as Nicki Sutton in the Channel 4 comedy-drama, which ran for four series from 2001 to 2004.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Rooper said that she would be open for a one-off special, especially as the show was made by some of her current colleagues.

"It's by the same guys that make Atlantis," she said. "They're so busy now, I don't know.

"We kept saying wouldn't it be brilliant to do a This Life-type 10-years-on thing. I'd love to see them."

As If also starred Paul Chequer, Emily Corrie, Orlando Wells, Caroline Chikezie and Ben Waters, and centred around a group of six young adults, with each episode focusing on a different character's point of view.

Rooper added: "I know one of the actresses [Corrie] is now in the navy, so I don't know whether she would come back!

Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, Geoffrey Rush: SAG Awards 2011 Colin Firth, above with Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush, won the SAG Award for Best Actor for his performance as the stuttering King George VI in Tom Hooper's The King's Speech. The acclaimed and surprisingly successful British period drama received SAG's Best Cast trophy as well. The King's Speech cast includes Guy Pearce, Jennifer Ehle, Orlando Wells, and veterans Claire Bloom, Derek Jacobi and Michael Gambon. While accepting the Best Cast award, Best Supporting Actor nominee Geoffrey Rush singled out Claire Bloom, who plays the Queen Mother in the film, referring to her as "the delicious Claire Bloom … [who] puts us in one degree of separation from Charles Chaplin."

Geoffrey Rush, Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, The King's Speech David Fincher's The Social Network, up for Best Actor (Jesse Eisenberg) and Best Cast, failed to win anything at the 2011 SAG Awards. Colin Firth was named Best Actor for his performance as the speech-impaired King George VI in Tom Hooper's The King's Speech, while the British period drama received the Best Cast trophy. Geoffrey Rush, a Best Supporting Actor nominee for his performance as the king's speech therapist, accepted the ensemble Actor trophy, praising much of the cast which includes Helena Bonham Carter, Guy Pearce, Jennifer Ehle, Orlando Wells, and veterans Derek Jacobi and Michael Gambon. Rush bestowed special praise on veteran Claire Bloom, who plays the Queen Mother, referring to her as "the delicious Claire Bloom … [who] puts us in one degree of separation from Charles Chaplin [Bloom's co-star in the 1952 drama Limelight]."

The King's Speech (2010) Direction: Tom Hooper Screenplay: David Seidler Cast: Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter, Guy Pearce, Michael Gambon, Claire Bloom, Orlando Wells, Derek Jacobi, Jennifer Ehle, Eve Best, Timothy Spall, Anthony Andrews Highly Recommended Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, The King's Speech I can't imagine what it must be like to be born into royalty. That kind of life, for all the material wealth it provides, must be in so many ways devoid of any real human interaction. It's a world that is so distant from "commoners" that imagining the rigidity of its daily life is almost incomprehensible. Even more so are the expectations put upon each individual within that realm. It is with this in mind that The King's Speech develops itself. This Tom Hooper-directed film is, as many have said, a rousing crowd-pleaser. But to dismiss it as just that misses the point entirely.

British actress Susannah York, star of stage and screen, died Saturday at the age of 72, after a long battle with bone marrow cancer.
