out as much as she had liked for husbands in Gateshead who are abused by their wives). She also tries to raise money for victims of sexual harassment, "battered husbands", alcoholism and sex addiction as well as for dwarves and for Africans addicted to online gambling, but claims she "couldn't be less interested" when Martin asked her to donate to a fundraiser of his own. She also made an appearance in a sketch made for Comic Relief. During the sketch, Martin still offers a modest amount of money for Georgie's charity, but upon Lenny Henry raising money for Comic Relief, he promptly writes a more generous cheque for £150. This prompts Georgie to shred it in the shredder that she had previously borrowed from Martin, before head butting Lenny Henry and saying "That'll give you a red nose". In the 2007 Christmas special, Georgie tries to raise money for those addicted to dogging. This is the only episode in which she does not attack Martin, but to Georgie's surprise Martin himself, wearing a garter belt and tights, leaves to go dogging. At the beginning of this sketch, Georgie asks Martin if she can borrow something from his desk, but he replies that the object she asks for is in use, but she goes on to tell him about her latest cause anyway (the objects Georgie asks to borrow are ones she borrowed in previous sketches). Martin, Geordie's target for fundraising money, is played by Richard Lumsden. Tate stated on This Morning that Georgie was her favourite new character. Tate said that she wanted to do a Geordie character and that Georgie was based on a letter she received from a woman in Newcastle about donating money. Minor characters Information Woman The information woman works at a help desk in a shopping centre. When shoppers ask for her assistance, she would misunderstand them or mistakenly believe that they were trying to engage in friendly conversation with her. An example is when someone approaches her at the information desk and says "Excuse me, I've lost my mother." to which she responds "Oh I'm so sorry to hear that." believing the mother to be deceased rather than just lost. She only appeared in one episode of series 1. Bunty Carmichael Bunty is a woman who insists on being allowed to perform in a children's majorette team, as there is no upper age limit.
