Different for Girls (1996) Part 1 of 10

Karl Foyle (Steven Mackintosh) and Paul Prentice (Rupert Graves) were best mates at school in the Seventies. But when they meet again in present-day London things are definitely not the same. Karl is now Kim, a transsexual, and she has no desire to stir up the past while she's busy forging a neat and orderly new life. Prentice, on the other hand, has charm but is a social disaster stuck in a dead-end job. His main talent is for getting them both into trouble. Amid the squabbles, they start to fall in love. One night, Kim invites Prentice to a romantic dinner at her flat. Prentice, finding the seduction unexpectedly effective, freaks out. He proceeds to make a public display of both of them and winds up in court. Humiliated and angry, Kim runs away. Only she can save Prentice now, but will true love triumph for a new made woman and an ageing punk? Directed by Richard Spence, written by Tony Marchant.

I just realized that the cab driver plays the serial killer in BBC's Sherlock in "A Study in Pink". And the lovely Mr. Graves plays Lestrade. :) Small World.

Thank you so much for uploading this! I've been looking for this movie everywhere and I absolutely loved it! :D I'm a 16 year old girl who lives in Canada and loves Rupert Graves, and it's not always the best position to be in when you want to indulge in that love, so once again thank you very much for helping! :D

I am officially in love with Rupert Graves. It is not a love I will explain... he is just... mahghasfjkfuwqfwfnfkasf. No words, honestly. He just goes from adorable to cute to sexy to downright bloody handsome the older he gets.

God, I love this film! As if Spiky!Rupert, Leather!Rupert and HotCourtroomSuit!Rupert weren't enough, we also get 1970s Punks Reunited and a Mike Leigh 'High Hopes' Cyril & Shirley cast reunion! (Phil Davis, then Ruth Sheen in part 5/10 as one of the women shocked by Prentice's tackle.) Then Edward Tudor-Pole (of Tenpole Tudor and Sex Pistols 'The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle' 'Who Killed Bambi?' fame) as the prosecution lawyer (8/10) who tells Rupert 'You were like a loaded gun'!! Just unbeatable.
