Sitcom based on the childhood memoirs of window-dresser extraordinaire, style arbiter and writer Simon Doonan. The story (transplanted to the 1997 - 2008 time period) follows Simon's childhood reminiscences of escaping the grey gloom of suburban Reading to live amongst the 'Beautiful People' - before coming to the realisation that true beauty, as ever, is closer than we think. Our Review: A sitcom with a lot of warmth and fun. It is based on two effeminate 13 year olds so, perhaps not surprisingly, is one of the campest sitcoms you're ever likely to see and thus may not suit all tastes. |
