Essex Wives is a 2002 television documentary series featuring women living in Essex, England.
The ITV programme featured Jodie Marsh and led to her career and fame as a topless model. The show caused the press to use the nickname golden triangle to describe the settlements of Chigwell, Buckhurst Hill and Loughton in the Epping Forest district upon which the series was centered.

“The unknown always seems unbelievable, Lucas.”
—Harry Essex (b. 1910)
“Not only do our wives need support, but our children need our deep involvement in their lives. If this period [the early years] of primitive needs and primitive caretaking passes without us, it is lost forever. We can be involved in other ways, but never again on this profoundly intimate level.”
—Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
