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. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I *think* the show was fairly faithful to the books but we're pre-dating my house having a VCR so this is all based on my memory of my memory - it's second-hand even to myself.

Both children and critics loved the series, responding to a layered approach mixing loud, colourful slapstick with sarcastic, subversive wit. The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged.Coleman went on to star in Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, a ground-breaking BBC drama series about one girl's power to overcome neglect and often violent prejudice, as well as the hit movie Four Weddings and a Funeral.

Every week social worker Mrs Allgood sends Marmalade to a new school, much to the despair of her long-suffering parents (Mr Atkins was played by Rory Bremner’s mate John Bird). A hair-raising teenage rebel, Marmalade made her TV debut in the one-off Marmalade Atkins in Space broadcast in 1981 as the first of a new anthology series – Theatre Box. From Eton to the Convent of the Blessed Limit to Dartmoor, Marmalade remains impervious to discipline - to the constant despair of her parents, hapless social worker Mrs Allgood, and child psychologist Dr Glenfiddick.Educating Marmalade was one of my favourite children's programmes that aired back in 1981 - I remember getting a Marmalade Atkins Annual. A memorial was held at the Mill Hill Buddhist Centre in north London later that month and attended by family and close friends.
