Despite taking pride in being an increasingly inclusive and non-judgmental society, it seems we Brits have an obsession with class – yes, still.

It’s one that the BBC has gratuitously exploited this autumn with a series of fascinating documentaries about the inner workings of The Tatler: a magazine which serves the gilded upper strata of British society and chronicles their comings-and-goings (Posh People: Inside Tatler, BBC2).

The star of this show is the polished and fresh-faced editor Kate Reardon (46) who by sleight of career gives the impression that custodianship of an iconic British magazine has just dropped in her lap while she sits on and stifles a powerhouse CV that includes a number of ‘youngest-evers’ at Conde Nast both in NY and London.   A veritable broiling crucible from which to have popped out on top.  Hello!

Always impeccably turned out, she makes an interesting study, Ms Reardon.  If you are currently slobbing around in your jim-jams, waiting on New Year and looking for a sartorial shove I’d recommend you catch up with Kate on the iPlayer!
