24. Absolutely Fashion: Inside British Vogue (BBC2)

A terrific fly-on-the-very-chic-walls of glossy fashion magazine Vogue that featured a classic, and really quite funny case of the biter bit when editor Alexandra Shulman pulled a fast one and left film maker Richard Macer trailing in her wake, whimpering about a breakdown in trust. It was all to do with Vogue’s centenary cover. It would be a celebratory illustration, Shulman assured Macer. She even mocked one up to fool him because the true cover star was the Duchess of Cambridge. But aside from these shenanigans, Absolutely Fashion was a delicious peek into a world where a pair of jeans costs £700. Alison Graham
