The Maysles brothers cult documentary Grey Gardens is showing tonight on BBC4 for those of you who get the channel. The film tell the story of Big Edie and Little Edie, mother and daughter, lived with a menagerie of cats and racoons in their derelict mansion in the posh Long Island seaside resort of East Hampton. Their genteel squalor became a cause célèbre when Jackie Onassis, Big Edie's niece and Little Eadie's first cousin, tried to help them clean up the house.
