SIMON DOONAN'S LIFE COMES TO THE SMALL SCREEN


Take this Chris Rock--finally our own version....FABU......

Creative Director of Barney's New York, Simon Doonan (yes, married to Jonathan Adler) will have his teen life played out on the small screen with the help of the BBC and producer Jon Plowman (Absolutely Fabulous).

The show is titled Beautiful People:


"Surrounded by dreams of the big city and the beautiful people that apparently live there, 13 year old Simon (Luke Ward-Wilkinson) cannot open a fridge door without belting out a show tune.
But such behaviour will always fall flat on a family even more eccentric than Simon’s latest attempts to be marvellous. The Britain of 1997 might be changing, but the Doonan clan remain consistently nuts.
Mum Debbie is a peroxide whirlwind of matriarchal warmth and tottering pride for husband Andy – an opera-savvy plumber come home-made wine maker. Sister Ashlene is a ghetto queen, blind lodger Aunty Hayley has a guide-dog who is far from size zero, lobotomised grandma Narg has just lost God and found her wicked streak and best mate Kylie wants to be Reading’s own Princess of hearts."

They do take artistic direction and move his thirteen year old self to 1997.  We def. know Simon was not 13 in 1997!!

There is a clip of the show below:
