From a story by Rebecca Frayn (based of course on actuality), written by her and Gaby Chiappe (Their Finest). Nicely cross cuts between two groups of women - the Miss World contestants and the Womens' Lib, focusing in on certain characters. They'd be disillusioned student Keira Knightley and activist Jessie Buckley, and Miss Grenada Gugu Mbatha Raw, Miss USA Suki Waterhouse and Miss Africa 'South' Loreece Harrison. Finds sexism everywhere.
Great cast: Keeley Hawes and Rhys Ifans as the organisers, Greg Kinnear and Lesley Manville (Mr & Mrs Bob Hope). With Phyllis Logan, Lily Newmark, Ruby Bentall (The Personal History of David Copperfield, Lark Rise), Miles Jupp, John Heffernan (sympathetic husband).
