"Lipstick on Your Collar" (1993) , UK Channel 4 mini-series , Written & Produced by Dennis Potter

Ewan McGregors first acting role, done 6 months from completing acting school, and he never looked back.

A tale of youthful lust, against a backdrop of the 1956 Suez crisis and national service. Interspersed with some great music from the start of the Rock & Roll era, which, for some reason the cast just start singing along to. Seems silly, and it is, but it works, and adds the right touch to the storyline, reflecting all those times when you wish life was a musical. (IMDb)

"I like the sort of music where "moon" don't rhyme with "June," and you're not up to your backside in bloody buttercups. Songs that aren't about your mum and dad. A bit rough. A beat that busts up the old way...the old stodge...the empire...and knowing your place, and "excuse me," and dressing up, and doing what you're told, and not once being asked! " (Private Hopper ''Ewan McGregor'') (IMDb)

  • She may be the sexiest human being alive.

  • @20995Mbo the question is where to find her dress...

  • Cupid's arrow on target with this track....from the brilliant genius, Dennis Potter's play....The music is as fresh as ever and the female vocal perfect with the special harmony with the male vocal. I first heard this as a play was finishing on TV, I recall and just was captivated, awe struck by its perfection. It inspired me to search its origins with just a few of the lyrics and of course it led me to the legendary Buddy Holly. Both with equal perfection in their own way. FANTASTIC!!!!

  • Great song, great vid... Louise Germaine looks stunning, and that dress she's wearing is awesome, I love the heart cut out at the front...
