After I discovered that both series had been released on DVD, I thought that I might as well give it a try. Coleman was the first of two daughters born to actress Ann Beach and Canadian-born television producer Francis Coleman. Her wild behaviour has seen her expelled from virtually every school she's attended, and this fondly remembered kids' sitcom sees her causing further mayhem at a range of educational and correctional establishments. Cecilia's School for Girls, Marmalade encounters the ghost of the first headmistress and investigates the mystery of the missing tuck.also included is the pilot episode, Marmalade Atkins in Space, first screened as part of the anthology series Theatre Box in 1981. Her wild behaviour has seen her expelled from virtually every school she's attended, and this fondly remembered kid's sitcom sees her causing further mayhem at a range of educational and correctional establishments. For this series, Marmalade had now left school and had a new social worker who was Wendy Wooley after Mrs Allgood had finally had enough. Quote from: Alternative Carpark on January 27, 2022, 06:46:25 PMCharlotte Coleman, in character as Marmalade Atkins, also had a stint as the Children's ITV presenter during April 1983. I don't dress like her- she's in a big baggy jumper and a mini-skirt while I wear things like ski-pants and fifties' dresses.
