Synopsis:
Jessie Wallace, known to millions as colourful Kat Slater in EastEnders, plays the critically acclaimed lead in this major new drama recently screened on BBC Four, which details the turbulent life and times of music hall darling Marie Lloyd.

Set in the East End of London in the early 1900s Miss Marie Lloyd - Queen Of The Music Hall depicts the star`s rise to fame set against her troubled private life. Famed for her generosity and good humour, she scandalised respectable society with her rebellious attitude and with a string of love affairs, which were salaciously covered in the tabloid papers, just as the antics Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen are today. The film features some of Marie Lloyd`s most famous songs, including My Old Man Said Follow The Van and her theme song A Little Of What You Fancy Does You Good, painting a poignant portrait of public success and personal sadness.
