When Lord Tony Rutherford first hears the young lady Cherry speak, he says that she is from Liverpool, to which she agrees. In fact, her accent did not sound like the tradition Scouse brogue of Liverpool, but more like the general Lancashire accent common to Manchester. As a matter of fact. the actress who portrayed Cherry, Perri Lister (1959 - ), is originally from London. She used to be part of the dance group Hot Gossip, which appeared on many shows, including being regulars on the Kenny Everett Video Show. Perri Lister was also in a relationship at one stage with British singer Billy Idol (William Michael Albert Broad, 1955 - ).
