Viewers divided over Cucumber/Banana finale

By Attitude Magazine

Russell T. Davies’ controversial twin gay dramas Cucumber and Banana both screened their respective finales last night, and as with many episodes of the season, viewer reaction was fiercely divided.

A viewer’s response to the Cucumber finale: “Oh god, I AM Henry!”

It’s been a dramatic season, with [SPOILER ALERT!] the brutal death of Lance several episodes ago shocking many viewers. Last night’s finale ended with a flash-forward six years into the future, and a surprising final line delivered by the middle-aged Henry: “I might come to terms with it,” he says. “Being gay.”

Many on Twitter lauded the finale, describing it as ‘bold’ and ‘brilliant’:

However, others labelled the finale a ‘disappointing’ end to the series:
