Millie Week 64, Mon 25 - Sat 30 Nov 1991

Back to the hypotenuse of our eternal triangle. One again, a strip is missing. The script is reproduced at the bottom of this post.

Mr Byrite was a very low end menswear shop, famed for the kind of suits that would only ever be worn once, usually at a court appearance:

It's strange to think there was once a time when Channel 4 was the intellectual pseud's TV station. Alas, no longer; Big Brother put paid to that.

Thursday's script:

1. Richard challenges Gemma outside the tuck shop. Gemma is eating bonbons out of a paper bag.
RICHARD: YOU'RE REFUSING TO GO OUT WITH ME BECAUSE I'M NOT TRENDY ENOUGH?
GEMMA: UH-HUH.

2. As before. Gemma finishes her last bonbon.
RICHARD: OK, TELL ME WHAT I HAVE TO WEAR TO GO OUT WITH YOU AND I'LL DO IT.

3. Richard now has the paper bag over his head. Gemma has one of those little smiles of triumph.
RICHARD: ARE YOU SURE THIS WAS IN i-D?

i-D is a fashion magazine, originally started in 1982 as a youthful street-level alternative style magazine. The neat thing about i-D is that it invented the emoticon 15 years early. Turn the title on it's side and it's a wink and a smile, and the model on the cover has always had a matching wink and smile to match.
