DOPE GIRLS TV SERIES
BBC UNVEILS CHEAP LOOKING FIRST IMAGES
Well, after My Lady Jane, here is another new series whose first unveiled images have put me right off wanting to watch it: aren't the first pictures from BBC new period set drama DOPE GIRLS one of the most depressive things you have seen this spring? From the boring cast to visual ugliness do they really think these would attract anyone to watch it? New six episode series will bring 1918 Soho to life, says BBC, although I see nothing lively in it. Even the woke description of the series leaves a nasty taste of rotten agenda in one's mouth.
IT IS THE END OF WORLD WAR ONE
As Britain celebrates the Armistice on the streets of London, men return from the front expecting to rejoin society and pick up where they left off - but a newly empowered generation of women are loath to simply return to the kitchen. Using Soho’s expanding illicit underground clubland scene as their playground, women explore previously unimaginable opportunities on either side of the law. DOPE GIRLS depicts in visceral detail the birth of the modern nightlife industry guided and gilded by female endeavour.
