RAGGED STUDIO-BOUND videotape romp through the turn of the century life of the titular royal-bedding ragamuffin, played by a bony-cheeked bonny FRANCESCA ANNIS, who bribes, blags and bonks her way through 13 episodes and 60-odd years. A huge supporting cast do their best to get up her nose and under her skirt, including DON FELLOWS, PETER EGAN, DENIS LILL, PATRICK RYECART and DAVID GWILLIM, while back home ANTON RODGERS, ANTHONY HEAD and PEGGY ANN WOOD tut disapprovingly.
