Lipstick on Your Collar

1993 · 1 season

A witty, surreal office comedy where daydreams burst into 1950s pop songs, mixing satire with a wistful look at youth and class.

Overview: 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.
How it feels: Satirical, whimsical, melancholic and tense. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Class, identity, power, coming-of-age
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild violence and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
