WED The six-part series from the pen of Sue Limb is an WED affectionate send up of the infamous literary group whose WED arty and adulterous adventures dominated the cultural scene WED in the early 20th century. WED The series follows the fortunes of Vera Sackcloth-Vest WED (Margolyes) - writer, gardener and transvestite - and her WED urge to escape from the tranquillity of her rather cramped WED little castle in Kent which she shares with her doting but WED ambiguous husband Henry (Coy), who is 'something in the WED Foreign Office'. Vera's heart is forever surging with exotic WED passion for Ginny Fox (Steadman), a highly-strung novelist WED who adores her, or the beautiful but shallow Venus Traduces WED (Banks). WED As the scene shifts from Kent to London, and Cornwall to WED Monaco, this close-knit coterie is divided by WED misunderstandings, jealousies and rows. WED In episode one, Vera longs to elope to Mediterranean WED sunshine with one of her bosom chums. But her first choice, WED Ginny, is stubbornly impervious to adventure and Venus WED Traduces is fully booked for elopements until next April. WED Will Vera run off instead with the perky waitress at Lyons' WED Corner house? Meanwhile, what is Vera's husband Henry up to WED as telegrams fly between him and Archie Pinkerton-Poker at WED the Foreign Office?
