Miss Marie Lloyd - Queen of the Music Hall depicts the star's rise to fame set against her troubled private life. Famed for her generosity and good humour, she scandalised respectable society with her rebellious attitude and with a string of love affairs, which were salaciously covered in the tabloid papers.
The film features some of Marie Lloyd's most famous songs, including My Old Man Said Follow the Van and her theme song A Little of What You Fancy Does You Good, painting a poignant portrait of her public success and personal sadness.
It is a Hat Trick production for BBC Four.
