| Episode in a
comedy-drama series following events at fictional village halls. Tempers
flare when the Mother's Union decides to stage a beauty contest in
place of its traditional May Queen gala. Six young
hopefuls, all eager to be crowned Miss Health and Beauty, compete
for the chance to win prizes including a trip to Majorca and a
fish-and-chip supper! |

interviewed about her role in 'Miss Health and Beauty' shortly
before the programme was originally broadcast. She described
her character, Shirley Chatsfield, as 'a dowdy North country girl, simple and not very
clever'. |
