Ms. Richard continued in her role on EastEnders, as well as reprising an old role . . .

Wendy Richard montage from G&F, Episode 1

Grace & Favour I
(90k)

. . . as the pert Miss Brahms in the sequel to AYBS? entitled Grace and Favour. Ms. Richard (who has aged wonderfully well over the intervening seven years since the final episode of the original series) re-donned the oft-times garish wardrobe of the junior ladies' sales assistant (including her trademark brooches).

The first season of Grace and Favour actually aired in early 1992, but was entirely produced in 1991, hence its appearance in this room of the Gallery.

The publicity photo of Wendy in service uniform is not the best quality; the image came from an unknown magazine (but Wendy did sign the tearsheet).

  Wendy Richard and Bill Treacher, in EastEnders kit, 1991

EastEnders
(87k)

The first image is of Bill Treacher and Wendy dressed as their EastEnders characters, Arthur and Pauline.  The shot is clearly outdoors; possibly at a real garden or flower show.  Of course Wendy tones down her jewelry when in costume -- but while the wedding band is a prop, the ring on her left little finger appears to be her own.

The 2nd image is from the same shoot.  New data  The 3rd photo is a bit of fun by Wendy, Adam Woodyatt, Bill Treacher, and Nicola Stapleton.  Curiously, the photo is from June of 1991, yet Stapleton's character of Mandy Salter did not start appearing in EastEnders until March of the following year.

In any case, as one may see from all these photos, Pauline does smile!  (And click here if you require even more proof.)

 This 4th image is from EastEnders, very near the end of the year.  It appears to be from the scene when the character of Mark finally tells Arthur and Pauline he is HIV-positive.

These publicity images were shot for the series' second season cricket match episode, and appeared in different unidentified newspapers, probably in 1992.  Note that one of the images is clearly reversed, though you can tell the two are not twins; Wendy's position differs between the two, as does Inman's expression.  But which photo was reversed?  Clue:  look at the bat.  The maker's logo can be seen:  "GM", for Gunn & Moore.  And in the color image, the logo is obviously mirrored.

A shot from the set of EastEnders which appeared in Saturday in 2007.  It is probably from early 1992, since Wendy's dress is the same that she wore during the show's 'Miss Queen Vic' contest, which aired in late-April of '92.

EastEnders in 1992 saw Ms. Richard's character take a long trip to New Zealand (a break that Wendy used to do Grace and Favour). On her return, she eschewed the pony tail which Pauline had worn before for a loose pageboy hairstyle. (The ponytail doesn't return until 1996.) These two are before . . .

Grace and Favour was not picked up for a third season, so in 1993, Ms. Richards concentrated on her tried and true role of Pauline Fowler, as well as a short cameo on a special revival of Dr Who.

Despite her character's reputation for overall frumpiness, it is safe to say that no one on EastEnders has ever worn the launderette workcoat quite so attractively.

The bottom-most photo is a publicity pic from early December (though it was actually shot in October).  The presence of the constables means this is likely the scene where Pauline is informed of the fatal auto accident involving her brother, Pete.

These four images are posed publicity shots.  I suspect the first photo here -- one of the handsomest of Pauline Fowler -- is from the same shoot that produced the image used on Wendy's publicity card from the early 1990s.

The second pic was used in the BBC book EastEnders: The First Ten Years.  Unfortunately, it was mirrored there to better fit the text flow; here, it is shown properly oriented.

Pic #3 also shows Wendy (as Pauline) and Billy Boyle (as Danny Taurus) in a publicity shot for the Danny storyline.

The final image is on the EE set, but looks like it was specially shot as a publicity piece.  It includes Todd Carty, Bill Treacher, and Susan Tully, as well as Wendy, of course.

4 		Arthur and Pauline (Wendy Richard) posed photo

EastEnders
(61k)

 Despite the fact these photos were used in magazines as late as 1996, it seems likely that all are from the same publicity photo shoot, circa 1993 or 1994.  The first image appeared in Inside Soap, 1994; the second in TV Times in 1996; and the third in Woman's Own, also in 1996.

Note also the small pin Pauline wears in the 3rd photo.  It's the symbol of the real-life Variety Club's Gold Heart children's charity, a sponsor of which Wendy was for many years.

 A photo distributed as publicity for EE, from June of this year.  A grief-dazed Pauline with her sons Mark (Todd Carty) and Martin (Jon Price).  This could be a specially-staged snapshot, since there were reports at the time that Wendy was too ill that month to be present during the actual filming of Arthur Fowler's funeral.

Two magazine covers featuring Wendy!

Actually, both 1996 issues show her as Pauline from EastEnders.  In the first, she's with Bill Treacher as Pauline's husband Arthur Fowler; in the second, she's with Todd Carty, who played Pauline's leather-jacket-clad oldest son, Mark.

Note that both photos were certainly shot much earlier, possibly as early as 1993 or 1994, judging from Wendy's hairstyle, which is plainly shorter here than that which she wears in the actual capped images from the 1996 episodes.

The Mirror website identified this incorrectly as from a 1985 appearance on You Bet!; however, Wendy's hairstyle clearly pegs this photo as from about mid-1996, when in fact she likely did appear on the show.  (An intriguing shot; I wonder what she was thinking.)
