I've set to record BBC4's Storyville tonight. The Queen of Versaille. It was only on at the cinema late last year for a week here or there and i missed it. It concerns this lavish and cartoonish former billionaire couple who've had a financial collapse and had to reposition themselves somewhere in the real world again. The review i read a while back tickled me when it mentioned that the wife of the piece all shoulder-padded and a big bag of surgeries rents a car from run-of-the-mill Hertz when disboarding a standard airline flight and asks them at the desk: and who will my driver be today?
Should be a good un.
