Swank

Dawn French and Cynthia Lennon outside The Cavern in Liverpool, 1985

Dawn was a "reluctant" host for a British television show, Swank. I never heard of the show (granted I live in the United States, and was a young child at the time) but from what I gathered on the Internet, it was like a travel series going to city to city to check out local activities and fashion. In this particular episode, Dawn and Cynthia ride a ferry on the Mersey - Dawn got seasick and ruins Cynthia's shirt. The program aired on July 12, 1985 on Channel 4.
