This volume of Harauld Hughes’s first three screenplays includes a preface by the author, as well as new critical appreciations by Richard Ayoade, Chlo Clifton-Wright and his current widow, Lady Virginia Lovilocke.

THE SWINGING MODELS
The film that started it all: Hughes’s searing indictment of the bikini business’s (literal) underbelly.

THE ESPECIALLY WAYWARD GIRL
A new student discovers her classmates have a thirst for human blood, which makes it hard to focus on the syllabus.

THE MODEL AND THE ROCKER
A dream collage of catwalks, crispy beats and crustaceans takes shape in this – one of Hughes’s most confusing narratives.
