yeah, it was the first time i got somewhere towards understanding it (and god knows there's loads of programmes about trannies, they're almost as popular as programmes about Hitler) - i thought Grayson Perry did very well.

Yes, he was really positive, didn't come across as weird, but as a bloke with an unusual hobby.

...

His exhcnage with Charlotte, the transsexual, was tense and searching.

The old historian with the wardrobes

The trannies' weekend away

His gawping at the bride-to-be in her finery.

It was all fascinating stuff. So all the Victoriana from Little Britain was actually well-judged?

What's a frock? Is that one of those things you wear backwards when you're finger-painting?

I would have watched this (I would love to know more about this subject, honestly) but Law and Order Criminal Intent had FREAKY SUPER-ASPIRATIONAL CALVINIST COUNTRY CLUB CULTS on it!

I found this a bit annoying. His lumping together of transexuals and transvestites was perplexing and a bit offensive.
