Tipping the Velvet (2002) [DVD]

Description

We saw this series on the BBC recently and it was just wonderful. Smitten by music hall life, and by the beautiful male impersonator Kitty Butler (Keeley Hawes), Nan Astley (Rachael Stirling) leaves her family’s Whitstable oyster parlor and follows her heart to London. There she finds unimaginable joy—and misery—as she explores the secret side of fin de siècle life.

This is one of the best BBC series and television does not get better than this.

Description

This BBC movie is a subtle and touching adaptation of the book by Rachel Waters, about a lesbian dance hall singer and the trials she faces in 19th century England. Apparently, Sophia Coppola is all set to re-adapt it, no doubt with a like, totally killer soundtrack, to which I can only say: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! (via John_and_Rose)
