Eve Matheson and Rebecca Saire lead the cast in this
16-part adaptation of William Makepeace Thackerays classic, filmed entirely at
the Pebble Mill Studios. Set in the Napoleonic Wars, Vanity Fair is a rich and
resplendent satire of English society in which according to Thackeray, there is
great quantity of eating and drinking, making love and jilting, laughing and
the contrary, smoking, cheating, fighting, dancing and fiddling. Becky (Eve
Matheson), the penniless, orphaned daughter of an artist and a French opera
dancer, and Amelia Sedley (Rebecca Saire), the sheltered child of a rich City
Merchant are unlikely, but firm friends. From the drawing rooms of Regency
London to the fields of Waterloo, Vanity Fair tells their story. Becky, an
irrepressible schemer one of the most seductive social climbers of all time who
will stop at nothing to get what she wants. While her friend, the meek and mild
Amelia, pursues the opposite course. In the end both girls get what they want
but not quite in the way they planned.
