The Gemma Factor Series 1, Episode 4 - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)
Kenny lands Gemma a cameo role as a "tavern wench". This role demands additional duties, like serving chicken in a basket to a pub audience of pensioners.
Further details
Meanwhile, Nell, freshly loved up with Dom, is organising a screening in the coffee shop to support another humanitarian cause. The turnout is poor, but her passion remains undimmed.
Back at the Pack Horse Inn, there are creative tensions and problems when fellow actors don't turn up, leaving Gemma centre-stage as the lead in a hastily improvised murder mystery reconstruction. Jeff plays a characteristically un-heterosexual hero to Gemma's innocent milkmaid and flounces off stage, only to find his more intimate performance with the pub landlord the unwitting grand finale.
Elsewhere, Nan takes in Betty's washing and becomes an unwitting therapist to a very grateful client. Betty finds her advice far more helpful than any professional opinion she's ever had and leaves a new woman, determined to have repeat bookings.
