Pick of the week
Victoria Beckham
“People thought I was that miserable cow that never smiled.” Looking back on her public image from the post-Spice era is quite difficult for Victoria Beckham, but it’s clear that her poker face was partly a defence mechanism. This three-part documentary (from the makers of the surprisingly entertaining Beckham) is an obvious attempt to set the record straight. In it, Victoria discusses her dysfunctional relationship with the press, her gloomy schooldays and her attempts to establish herself as a creative entity in her own right. The series culminates in her fashion line’s biggest show to date – and with the tabloids polishing their mean “Wannabe” headlines, she can’t afford to fail.
