why did they not mention that the biggest hit song from the show was "I know him so well" which still holds the record for the most sales by a female duo in the U.K

James Fox looks so unbelievably different now than in 2004 ...he was a sweet innocent boy then ...now he's a skinhead ....and looking like a real man. Strange how he changed his appearance so much .....but I like it. Could he be gay maybe?
