Tipping the Velvet (2002) short review

2002 Tipping the Velvet

I LOVE this BBC miniseries because: A) it’s an adaptation of a fabulous book by Sarah Waters, B) it’s got Keeley Hawes, C) the costumes are outstanding, D) it’s funny, romantic, sad, and sexy all at the same time. I don’t want to give anything away, but let’s just say it’s set in the 1890s (although costumed in the 1880s) and tells the tale of Nan Astley’s (Rachael Stirling) adventures in vaudeville and love.
