The REAL mystery in BBC’s new drama...

THERE are many odd or baffling things about the BBC’s expletivestrewn new detective series, Top Of The Lake: China Girl. The first is Nicole Kidman, playing a ‘latelife lesbian’ who has apparently had an accident with the Australian national grid which has turned her hair into a vast scouring pad.

The second is the ultra-modish actress Elisabeth Moss, beloved by Left-wing critics despite the fact that she is a Scientologist (would they even write about her, let alone praise her, if she were an active Christian?). But above all, it is the portrayal of all men as weak, porncorrupted, slobbish and ignorant. This is not accidental. It is not balanced elsewhere on the BBC. Why is it not condemned as bias?
