Spent (2024 Michelle de Swarte)

I didn't like this 6 x 30 for BBC as the main character was a supermodel who has blown all her money (I write this the day Katie Price is arrested for failing to turn up to a bankruptcy hearing) and comes back to Brixton, where she lies to everyone. About everything. Several other characters are unappealing - agent ex, etc. She finally realises what we've known from the outset - that she has nothing and is no one. 

Weirdly though the next day I was listening to The Velvet Underground with Nico, and the track 'All Tomorrow's Parties' could have been written especially for the character.
