Marked Personal (ITV 1973-76, Stephanie Beacham, Karl Howman)

Twice weekly afternoon drama series Marked Personal concerned itself with the human resource department of large organisation BYA.

The initial focus was on Georgina Layton, a young woman with two degrees and a career in the probation service. This was her first time involved in the workings of big business.

Head of film reviews at The Viewers Guide with an erudite, insightful, slightly sardonic, deep appreciation for classic cinema. Has a habit of quoting obscure lines from old films in everyday conversation. He keeps a meticulously organized film logbook. He's a bit of a tea snob.
