Awesome BBC series - not just for women
26 October 2011
High BBC period drama production values, explicit lesbian sex scenes, wickedly funny tongue-in-cheek humor, with wonderful music and songs, What's not to love?

Rachel Stirling really grows on you as Nan. I loved how her character developed, the many series of ups and downs she went through, and her final song onstage having fought her way back to earn such a moment. In the end I was sorry to say goodbye.

memorable moments: *When Nan first sees Kitty onstage and she grabs at her heart.

* Nan's first outing as a streetwalker, servicing an old man... and the music that's playing in the background.

* The wonderful songs, lyrics...my pal Cyril, he's a regular peril when he gives the girls the eye, my pal Cyril, he drinks like the devil, he can drink the dairy dry...etc..

* Florence watching Nan perform with tears of joy...

* all the references to oysters throughout the film..:)

I wish I can see it again for the first time.
