Just a quick "bump" up the forum for any who might have forgotten this is on TONIGHT.

Trailer included a clip of a Rolleiflex. Almost certain to be a fair bit of film wasterage going on..........

Thanks to Harvey for the original post - or I wouldn't have known it was on at all.

Just watched it. Thought it was great fun. Bailey must have been a monster to deal with in the early 60's - a real "changing of the guard" from the days of Cecil Beaton, Norman Parkinson and Richard Avedon.

(Note to self: get some books by Bailey, Duffy and Donovan to see how good they were).
