3. Grandest

Fabulous Flops Series 1
Episode 3 of 4

Paul Roseby remembers the pain of short-lived musicals inspired by royalty and religion. With Polly James. From 2004.

Paul Roseby celebrates more of the grandest, yet worst musicals ever to grace the stage.

How Polly James starred regally as Queen Victoria in I and Albert.

Papally, we get a comment from the Vatican on a musical the Pope blessed, Bernadette - although divine intervention didn't stop it from closing within 10 days.

And financially, how Bonnie Langford starred in the ill-fated 'Gone With the Wind' when she was only seven.

Just how much serious money can be made - and lost?!

Producer: Elizabeth Freestone
