The Girl from the South

Available for 22 days

Uncle Jeff, out of the blue, decides that his nephew Andy needs a girlfriend. Andy decides that he does not. Jeff persists - Fish Shop Frank has his niece visiting from down south, and she is, by all accounts, "a lovely girl". While waiting for Andy to agree, Jeff takes him to the local hypermarket ostensibly for supplies, but in fact because Jeff has read in a magazine that supermarkets are the ideal place for young singles to meet. While Jeff is wrongly detained for shoplifting, Andy runs into an old flame from London, Liz. She's staying with her Uncle Frank - so this is the "lovely girl" Jeff's been banging on about! Can Andy rekindle the relationship with his old flame? Written by Ian Brown and James Hendrie. Jeff ...... Philip Jackson Andy ...... Tom Palmer Frank ...... Mark Benton Corinne ......
