Beautiful People marathon
After been to the gym, I desided to have a Beautiful People marathon. If haven't seen it yet ? You should. I laid back and enjoyed the great series from BBC. It's my second time of Beautiful People :) and it will not be the last.
Beautiful People are from the creator of Gimme Gimme Gimme and the producer of Absolutely Fabulous comes Beautiful People, a six-part comedy series for BBC Two exploring what it’s truly like for all of us to be fabulous via starry ambition, youthful optimism and one very loving, yet very dysfunctional, family.
This glittering and hilarious series delves inside Simon’s youthful memories and his desire to escape suburban Reading and live amongst the “beautiful people” – from his perspective as a window dresser in a New York department store.
Surrounded by dreams of the big and all the beautiful people that go with it, 13-year-old Simon (Luke Ward-Wilkinson) can’t open a fridge door without belting out a show tune.
But such behaviour will always fall flat on a family even more eccentric than Simon’s latest attempts to be fabulous. The Britain of 1997 might be changing, but the Doonan clan remain consistently nuts.
Mum Debbie is a peroxide whirlwind of matriarchal warmth and a passionate pride for husband Andy – a culture-savvy plumber-cum-homemade winemaker.
Simon’s sister Ashlene is a wannabe ghetto queen, blind lodger Aunty Hayley has a guide-dog who is far from size zero, lobotomised grandma Narg has just lost God and replaced him with a foul mouth and best mate Kylie/Kyle aspires to be Reading’s own Princess of Hearts.
