"People keep asking us what the show's about. We-e-e-ll, it's sort of about sex, surgery and hot flashes... Oh, and it's also about science, survival and modern art... Actually, it's about life, love and how men are occasionally quite nice, really. And you'll learn how to acquire the famous British Stiff Upper Lip whilst laughing like a drain."
(Bags and hats by Lulu Guinness, naturally!)
