Not your everyday web site!
Yes it's time for another period drama from the BBC, this time it features the Whitstable Oyster Industry. They say oysters improve your sex life, Nancy must have ate a bucket full!
Whitstable, 1890's. Nan Astley is a naïve young oyster maid who becomes mesmerised by Kitty Butler, a charismatic male impersonator. It starts an exotic adventure into a sexually charged world.
The story of Nancy Astley, a fishmonger's daughter in Whitstable, England, who falls in love at first sight with a male impersonator in a Canterbury theatre.
A nation of dykes will sit glued to the telly giggling and gasping their way through Tipping the Velvet, waiting for the lovely Rachael Stirling (Nancy) and Keeley Hawkes (Kitty) to get their kit off and get it on.
I believe the bit where during a day at the beach, Nan shows Kitty how to open and slurp an oyster has been cut from the TV version as Canterbury Council did not want flocks of lesbians heading towards Whitstable!
