Lipstick on Your Collar(1993)

Lipstick on Your Collar is a British series set during the 1956 Suez Crisis, when two young Foreign Office clerks in Whitehall navigate the collapse of empire with remarkable indifference. While the nation grapples with its global standing, the pair are far more consumed by girls, rock music, and the messy complications of romance. The show captures a moment when personal desire and youthful rebellion quietly overshadow the machinery of state, blending period drama with the energy of 1950s youth culture. Against the backdrop of political upheaval, their petty office intrigues and romantic escapades become the real story—a witty portrait of ambition, desire, and the generational divide between duty and self-interest.
