Marmalade Atkins is a children's fictional character created by the writer Andrew Davies.
A hair-raising teenage rebel, Marmalade made her TV debut in the one-off Marmalade Atkins in Space broadcast in 1981 as part of the Theatre Box series.
Also featuring John Bird[5] and Lynda Marchal as her parents Mr and Mrs Atkins (the latter replaced by Carol MacReady for the Marmalade at Work series), the programmes were produced by Thames Television for ITV.
The show's creator, Andrew Davies, went on to author a series of Marmalade Atkins books.
[6] The theme track for Educating Marmalade was written and performed by Bad Manners.
