Dir: Vicky Jewson. Cast: Phoebe Thomas, Matthew Chambers, James Wilby

 

Description: Feisty schoolteacher Jemima Honey works in Oxford and hopes to honour the memory of her dead brother by investing her energy in a derelict art factory, where youngsters can escape the troubles of the real world through their creativity. She meets notorious playboy Michael Bartle, who encourages her to make a stand for the factory, which will be closed if it does not secure significant funding. When Michael's ulterior motives are revealed, Jemima hastily organises a publicity stunt, and vows to attract the money for a five-year sponsorship deal by riding naked on a horse over Magdalen Bridge a la Lady Godiva.

God-awful Godiva

By Charlotte O'Sullivan, Evening Standard  24.01.08
 
Lady Godiva

Naked trotting: Love in the horse world

A modern Oxford miss falls in love with a suave horse-breeder, saves an art factory for local kids, honours the memory of her dead brother, yells things like "I'm not afraid any more!" and catches Prince William's eye as she trots around naked on a horse.

Sarah Jewson directs from her own script. Lady, it's god-awful.
