I little more info here:

In English gay-friendly seaside town Brighton, naive Nathan's reconstituted family is fatally dysfunctional inc chief of both females. His wife, selfish Stella, cares neither for him, nor for their (step)children. Matt is too young for sexual frustrations, so he goes trough bizarre fantasy phases when he senses unhealthy tension. Big sister Kim, a sexually frustrated nerdy virgin, has a crush on shameless super-sassy slut Sugar, yet refuses to give in to it enough to enjoy lesbianism or to remove the temptation from her life, so she becomes Sugar's loyal devotee and jealous partner in crime. Written by KGF Vissers

I enjoyed Sugar Rush when it was shown on television first time round. I felt intrigued because a friend of mine wrote some of the episodes, but it was worth a look.

[sweetlad2010]

I used to like sugar rush.. I remember when they were filming it i was actually working and walked into the set but i didnt feature in it lol... It is based in hove alot of it Lansdowne place in Hove to be exact is where she lived... I know alot of filming gets done in brighton and gay films are better done here along with soaps because brighton is or used to be the gay capital of europe... 55000 gay people live here....
