    Shame we didn't get another episode

    They pulled out all the stops for this show, I'm sure with the intention of making more episodes, but it was never picked up by the BBC. A strong supporting cast and well written by Ruby wax. Unfortunately the weakest link is collins herself; wonderful to look at but her tendency to over act ruins what could be a great performance. I still feel it would have been worth another episode, at the end you do feel you would like to know what the character got up to next ..... Amazingly when Joan removes her make up at the end, you see the girl she used to be in the 1950s when she first went to Hollywood.
