Set in England in the 1890's, Tipping The Velvet is a colourful and passionate and entertaining love story, which follows our heroine's growth into womanhood.
Episode 1
The glamorous world of the 19th century music hall provides the backdrop for Nan's first love affair with Kitty butler, a popular male impersonator. When Kitty is offered the chance to perform in London, a delighted Nan accompanies her as a dresser, but true success doesn't happen until Nan becomes part of the act.
Episode 2
Alone and devastated by her betrayal, Nan cannot return to her family in Whitstable so takes to the streets to survive. In her guise as a male impersonator, she finds a niche in the Victorian sexual underworld and is also drawn into the web of a rich Sapphic, society widow who offers sex, excitement and luxury but at a perilous price.
Episode 3
