An Encounter with Mr Handel
The scholarly secret society inspires Mr Handel's latest saucy smash hit on Edinburgh's Calton Hill. Stars Gus Brown. From 2016.
Friedrich Handel is down in the dumps because the King is growing tired of his music.
He heads north to Edinburgh for inspiration and meets the ladies of The Fair Intellectual Club - a secret scholarly society for girls.
With the help of Marjory, Handel finds a melancholy theme for a new work. Thanks to the efforts of girl-about-town Ishbel and maths genius Alison, he ends up with a much jauntier, raunchier tune.
Lucy Porter's sitcom is set in early 18th Century Scotland.
