3/5

It's a real celebration of camp British eccentricity, and it refutes Logan's assertion that the world has gone totally grey.

4/5

It never feels like a private party for the elite and well-connected, Benstock emphasising that it is an inclusive, non-judgemental space in which anyone can participate.

1/5

Simply becomes a series of talking heads like Ruby Wax, interspersed with animated sequences and boring meetings.

An inspirational history of the Alternative Miss World Show, with a standout performance from Brian Eno's cat.
