Lipstick on Your Collar
Created by Dennis Potter
On Channel 4
A playful, surreal 1950s period comedy that treats the Suez Crisis as mere backdrop to youthful romance, rock music, and the dreams of two young clerks indifferent to empire.
During the Suez Crisis of 1956, two young clerks at the stuffy Foreign Office in Whitehall display little interest in the decline of the British Empire. To their eyes, it can hardly compete with girls, rock music, and the intrigue of romantic entanglements.
