Georgina Jones


Miss Georgina Jones is a fictional character played by Juliet Harmer in the BBC television adventure series, Adam Adamant Lives! (1966-7).

Adam Adamant was created by Richard Harris and Donald Cotton, with significant creative input by script editor Tony Williamson and the BBC's Head of Television Drama, Sydney Newman. The series was produced by Verity Lambert. The female lead was originally to have been called Sandy, but the name Georgina Jones (sometimes "George" or "Georgie" to her friends) had been adopted by the time of a 1966 pilot in which the part was played by Ann Holloway. Holloway was replaced in the series itself by Juliet Harmer.

Adam Adamant was an adventurer who, having foiled a plot to assassinate King Edward VII, had been cryopreserved by his enemies in 1902 and had come back to life in 1966. Miss Jones' grandfather, Sam Jones, had met him at Henley Regatta in 1901. She herself claimed that Adamant had been a childhood hero of hers and that she had been a witness to the demolition of his former home in the mid-1950s.

From the very start, when she found him stumbling in the vicinity of Piccadilly Circus, Miss Jones (whom Adamant rarely addressed by her first name) was Adamant's staunch friend and supporter. These were characteristics that Adamant, who was coming to terms with a very different world to that which he had left over sixty years earlier, did not always appreciate.

Miss Jones worked in a discothèque, which was subject to a vicious protection racket, and lived in a flat which, among other things, displayed a large letter "G" above her single bed. Her clothes typified those of "Swinging London" - a John Lennon-style cap, striped tops, mini-skirts – and she rode around on a Vespa motor scooter.
