  • I don't think there's any doubt that it certainly was her masterpiece.

  • I think that I may be the voice of my generation, or at least a voice of a generation.

  • I'm always worried when people revisit something that was so brilliant and so of its time.

  • I want someone of Lena Dunham's calibre to make that period of life funny for me.

  • From The Guardians today in Focus, this is The Latest with me, Lucy Hoth.

  • Girls, the seminal 2012 TV show is back in a very shock announcement of a reboot.

  • Rebecca Nicholson, you are a Guardian writer.

  • Can we start by, can you just explain to me what this show meant to you when it first came out?

  • Yeah, I mean, I was 29, I think, when it came out.

  • So I was a little bit older than they were.

  • But because of my own Arrested Development, I am just going to say I was in my early 20s.

  • It sort of felt like it spoke.

  • To me, not so much of, I wasn't having that exact experience,

  • but it felt like a show that I understood the humour of really inherently and from the beginning.

  • I mean, it was so funny and so witty and they were having similar life experiences to me, I suppose.
