Photos of the cast during production

  • 'My name is Georgy. Georgina Parkin. I am twenty seven years old and never been asked about by a fella.'
  • Georgy: 'I must ask you point blank to accompany me and this ‘ere lady to Fred’s where we’ll have a large plate of spaghetti.'
  • Georgy: 'Do you want to see me being a bit of fairy dust?'
  • Peg: 'Good job I always keep a lot of potatoes in to spin things out. What would you have done if I hadn’t kept spare potatoes?'
  • Georgy: 'I don’t know what to do with myself. It’s hopeless. My face is too long and big and I can’t do anything with my hair'.
  • Jos: 'The trouble with George is that you have to look at her so hard to see she is worth looking at.'
