Educating Marmalade - The Complete Series

Product Information

Originally beamed out by Thames Television from October 25, 1982 to January 3, 1983, Educating Marmalade consisted of ten 20-minute episodes, each of which found the "heroine" pulling pranks on her elders and laughing uproariously at their discomfiture. Other television appearances in the 1980s and '90s included roles in Thames Television's The Bill and Central Independent Television's Inspector Morse, the short-lived comedy series Freddie and Max, with Anne Bancroft, a drama about homelessness, Sweet Nothing and another lesbian role, as Barbara Gale in the political satire Giving Tongue (1996). They include ‘Cringe Hill’, the worst school in England, full of anarchic punks and crooks (including a brief cameo from a young Kathy Bates, typecast from the off as a Waynetta Slob type) through to schools run by nuns, and everything in-between.

This series lacked the satirical edge of the first, being a bizarre, hyperactive pantomime that saw Marmalade join the army and the police force (providing a sly cameo for ex- Z Cars actor Stratford Johns). The episodes are: 'Marmalade Atkins in Space', 'Cringe Hill', 'The Convent of the Blessed Limit', 'Marmalade at Eton', 'Walkies', 'Marmalade at St Cecilia's', 'Marmalade in Venice', 'Nanny', 'Short Sharp Shock', 'The Nativity Play' and 'Marmalade at the Albert Hall'.By joining TV Guide, you agree to our Terms of Use and acknowledge the data practices in our Privacy Policy.

Despite the efforts of her parents (John Bird and Lynda La Plante), social worker Mrs Allgood (Gillian Raine) and child psychologist Dr. Like its titular heroine, the series seemed dumb and brash at first, but possessed a real spark of intelligent wit. Charlotte Ninon Coleman (3 April 1968 – 14 November 2001) was an English actress best known for playing Scarlett in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral, Jess in the television drama Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, and her childhood roles of Sue in Worzel Gummidge and the character Marmalade Atkins. Coleman's final television appearance was in the adaptation of Jacqueline Wilson's Double Act, where she played the twins' teacher, Miss Debenham.When we did the original episode, last year, my hair was crazy, all different colours, so we used it. children's show written by Andrew Davies and starring Charlotte Coleman as naughty girl Marmalade Atkins who causes chaos wherever she goes. A memorial was held at the Mill Hill Buddhist Centre in north London later that month and attended by family and close friends. Marmalade remained a total menace and every week she would have a different job such as a chef, spy, air stewardess and so on. They seemed to be rather surprised by this, as if they thought that I knew about every 80s and 90s TV show, which is something I should be flattered by I suppose.
