It was weird but also funny; we turned it into kind of a sample, like she was singing the hook in a rap song. The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten

The woman who takes over the restart class after Pauline loses her job. If anything, she's just as bad as Pauline, if not worse...

‘Dole scum’

Useless Trivia:• Because Pauline was Reece's idea taken from his own experiences he was originally slated to play her, however Steve jokes that the prospect of playing the woman who made his life miserable whilst on his restart depressed Reece too much, so he took the role of Ross instead. SUDDENLY, HE TAKES HOLD OF HIS PENIS AND STARTS URINATING INTO THE GLASS THAT BENJAMIN IS HOLDING. BENJAMIN REACTS AND TRIES TO CATCH ALL THE URINE IN THE GLASS WITHOUT SPILLING ANY. The interview for "pushing trolleys around ASDA car park" is also based in reality. Apparently Reece applied for the job, but was told he was too clever for it. They told him that his personality would disgruntle the other workers. Er, that is right. I’m very interested, yes. I feel that my ability to work well as part of a team, and yet to take individual responsibility, are important factors in a job of this nature. Pauline was initially performed on stage, appearing in the writers' very first show, even before they took on the name of The League of Gentlemen as a sketch based around job ideas [20] - later adapted into the television series. [1] When it came to writing the television series, despite there being ample material for Pauline, Pemberton stated they did not know how to begin her scenes. While filming the first series, Pemberton developed the "chunter", which is what he named Pauline's twitching of her lips. [20] Character design [ ]

Away from its clear Hammer Horror influences, The League of Gentlemen has always revelled in a kind of everyday pathos in many of its characters. Pauline Campbell-Jones, portrayed by Steve Pemberton, is one of the most heavily featured and long-running characters in The League of Gentlemen. Initially featuring in On the Town with League of Gentlemen across several episodes, she was carried over into the television series, appearing in the majority of episodes across the first, [1] [2] [3] [4] second series, [5] [8] [9] [10] the Christmas special [11] and third series. [12] [13] [14] [15] She also features in The League of Gentlemen: Live at Drury Lane, [6] The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse [16] and The League of Gentlemen Are Behind You!

Jesus! Yes, this is the joke shop, shop being the key word. Pemberton portrayed her on stage without any wig, but one was introduced for the television series and was described as having a "hair horn." The writers envisioned her having a short crop, however. [20] This shorter hair design would be used in the third series, in which it was restyled for her prison stint. [12] [13] [14] [15]Oh, never mind all that. That’s the woman’s job. First thing you’ve got to do, is sort out your best man. Well. I don’t know about you, Benjamin, but we like to start the day with a glass of fresh aqua vitae. Would you care to join us?

Perhaps you’re a naturally slothful person, sluggish and indolent. A dawdling flaneur, content to waste his life spread-eagled on pillows, forever indulging himself in the pleasures of the palm. I just don’t know… Ah, yes…It’s a particular form of pernicious anaemia which affects the chelonian family. If we had more time, I’d suggest an iron rich diet, but it’s quite serious, I’m afraid.
