	BBC - Press Office - Tipping the Velvet
		Set in England in the 1890’s, Tipping The Velvet is a colourful, passionate and entertaining love story about Nan Astley (Rachael Stirling), a heroine as appealing and charismatic as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice.
		Sally says: "Tipping the Velvet is unlike any other drama I’ve worked on… the emotional and visual extremes of the story wrap around each other so that it is compelling, startling and sometimes shocking.
		Tipping The Velvet, a Sally Head production, is produced by Georgina Lowe (The Mayor of Casterbridge, Topsy-Turvy) and directed by Geoff Sax (Othello, Clocking Off).

		Tipping the Velvet, a three episode mini-series set in Victorian 1890s England about male impersonator and music hall star Nan Astley might change that.
		Sax’s direction and the editing are often ludicrously overwrought, though Sax does put together at least one particularly inspired sequence – Nan’s first time on the stage is intercut with her rehearsals and it all culminates in a kiss between Nan and Kitty, both playing men.
		Throughout, Tipping the Velvet’s saving grace is its actresses, who ease it past more than one rough patch.

		Set against the tawdry glamour and excitement of the music-halls, Sarah Waters' debut novel Tipping the Velvet is a full-bodied evocation of the show business world of Victorian London.
		Sarah was inspired to write Tipping the Velvet whilst working on her PhD thesis on lesbian historical fiction which underlined the inadequacies and potential of the contemporary lesbian historical genre.
		She also read a fair amount of nineteenth-century pornography and dictionaries of slang and vulgar words: 'tipping the velvet' is Victorian slang for cunnilingus.

	Tipping the Velvet (2002)
		Tipping the Velvet is a three-hour television adapatation of the surprisingly successful first novel by Sarah Waters (read Moviepie's exclusive interview with Sarah Waters about the series).
		The media buzzed, and Tipping's debut on TV was a huge hit, despite (or because of) the controversy about the sexiness of the story.
		Tipping the Velvet follows Nancy as she, too, becomes partners (in more ways than one) with Kitty (Keeley Hawes), sharing the stage with her, then losing her when Kitty dumps Nancy for a more acceptable (male) mate.

	Tipping the Velvet, by Sarah Waters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		But the moment she spies a new male impersonator--still something of a curiosity in England circa 1888--her years of innocence come to an end and a life of transformations begins.
		Tipping the Velvet, all 472 pages of it, is as saucy, as tantalizing, and as touching as the narrator's first encounter with the seductive but shame-ridden Miss Kitty Butler.
		Still, Tipping the Velvet is so entertaining that readers will wish her sentimental--and hedonistic--education had taken twice as long.

		Originally produced in the U.K. for {@BBC1, where it first aired on October 9, 2002, the three-part miniseries Tipping the Velvet was adapted from Sarah Waters' best-selling debut novel of the same name.
		Given the strict (and somewhat hypocritical) moral restrictions of the Victorian era, the lesbian relationship between Nancy and Kitty must be kept a closely guarded secret, except in the hedonistic underground circles in which the actress and her libertine friends travel.
		Tipping the Velvet was brought to the US by way of the {@BBC America digital-cable service beginning May 23, 2003.

		I loved Sarah Waters's novel, "Tipping the Velvet." Director Geoffrey Sax and screenwriter Andrew Davies have captured beautifully and vividly the novel's characters, storyline and the remarkable setting of a Victorian England that few have glimpsed.
		When you think of the Victorian era you think of stuffiness and of course, an element of great sexual repression but it must be remembered that during this time, women really moved from the passive to agressive; seeking their own ideals, life and pleasures that lie therein.
		As Nan Astley explains to Florence Banner in the final episode, "Tipping the Velvet" was a Victorian euphemism for cunnilingus.

		But even more remarkable than the titillating erotica was Waters' extraordinary ability to recreate--via her impressive, sweeping prose--the sights, sounds, smells of London in the "Gay Nineties." From "tom" to "tony," from "masher" to "saucy," the reader is completely and delightfully immersed in the slang, the jargon, the behaviour of the historical period.
		TIPPING THE VELVET is an exceptional debut novel.
		I was loaned "Tipping the Velvet" by a friend and read it over one weekend.

		VICTORIAN ENGLAND provokes a common free association in the public's imagination: stern men in mutton-chop whiskers attended by dutiful daughters; overdressed ladies swooning at the mere thought of indelicacy; cunning orphans dodging boxed ears; damp and dreadful poorhouses; and all ruled by a chaste, sour-faced queen.
		What a different world is presented in the well-researched pages of "Tipping the Velvet," by Sarah Waters, a Welsh author and doctor of English literature.
		For all of its risqué tenor, "Tipping the Velvet" is really an old-fashioned story with a twist: girl meets girl, girl loses girl, girl struggles through a series of misadventures and still finds true love.

		"Tipping the Velvet" is a lusty and sumptuous period tale of the things lesbians do (and don't do) for love.
		I'm talking, of course, about the 1890s, the decade during which the exquisite BBC America miniseries "Tipping the Velvet" is set.
		If it's possible for female-to-female sexuality to be presented with a sheen of sophistication and beauty rather than hyperventilating horniness, this three-parter (presented over three consecutive nights) turns the trick admirably.

		Screenwriter Andrew Davies describes Tipping the Velvet, his adaptation of Sarah Waters's acclaimed novel of lesbian love, betrayal and redemption in Victorian England, as "Pride and Prejudice with dirty bits".
		This three-part BBC production chronicles with relish the story of Nan Astley (Rachael Stirling, the ravishing image of her mother, Diana Rigg), barely 18, and certain that life holds more for her than her oyster girl's existence.
		It was quite an unexpected movie for me - the box read (in Russian) "Velvet Feet" but luckily the original dialogue was intact.

		It's a simple plot, but one which continues to compel, and by the end of the novel, as sappy as it sounds, the reader is cheering her on as she discovers that she is at last free of the spell of her first true love and able to love again.
		In short, while it's not hard to imagine Tipping the Velvet as a film, it's hard to see it as a Merchant/Ivory Helena Bonham-Carter vehicle, unless, perhaps, Gina Gershon played the lead, perhaps still in that undershirt she wore in Bound.
		I mean this, of course, as a compliment.
