London on screen, part II - Kris

Question of the week: We've asked this before, but it's worth asking again - do you have a favourite London film or tv show?

"An Ideal Husband: If you like witty banter and superb sets and costumes, you'll love the 1999 film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's 'An Ideal Husband'. The plot is a bit complex, so watch carefully, but even if you get lost, the performances are great, and it is full of famous Wildian one-liners 'Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear.' And London, London society and London landmarks are the backdrop for the entire spectacle. It is lots of fun, and a good introduction to Wilde (if you need one!)."- Kris

(Bonus points if you recognise the sculpture illustrating this post - it's near the London Centre)
