This 3-part series really is a charming portrayal of lesbian love in Victorian London. Over the series you will see Nan, a naïve young girl from the seaside, blossom into a beautiful women lusting for a love of her own. She has many saucy adventures dressing as a boy, on stage and off!
Tipping The Velvet is sure to tickle the fancy of anyone with an open mind and an eye for passion in all its forms.
