I was contacted by Call the Midwife Costume department asking if I could loan them a Pearly King and Queen suit.
I had a lovely chat with the head of wardrobe for the series called Claire and said to her you could put people in a Pearly suit but it would not actually look as authentic as having a original Pearly in their own suit.
I said to Claire that original Pearlies are raised in the tradition over generations and if she wanted the real deal I offered that Myself and my King would gladly appear, Claire loved the idea and we had a wonderful day on set, meeting some of the show stars and being very well looked after. I particularly enjoyed having hair and makeup done what a treat.
We were series 10 episode 7 A big thank you to all the team from Call the Midwife for treating us like royalty.
