Synopsis:

Nick Faunt is a Manchester millionaire's son who, at the height of the Depression, leaves home to become an artist, embracing a life of bohemian freedom but also of poverty and hardship. When he meets Irish serving girl Anna Fitzgerald in the Cheshire countryside, a strange love story begins... This seven-part Granada Television adaptation of Howard Spring's best-selling novel, originally transmitted in 1973, features RSC player John Nolan as Nick and Prunella Gee as Anna; Sharon Maughan makes her TV debut as the other woman in Nick's life, the glamorous and ambitious Rachel Rosing. While Coronation Street contributors Geoffrey Lancashire and Adele Rose wrote the screenplays, the series' brilliantly authentic 1930s street scenes were achieved with the construction of replicas of Manchester's landmarks at the National Tramway Museum at Crich, in Derbyshire.

Set in the 1920s, the British miniseries Shabby Tiger focused on Prunella Gee as Irish serving girl Anna Fitzgerald. Swept off her feet by charismatic Manchester artist Nick Faunt (John Nolan), Anna plunged headlong into the bohemian lifestyle so prevalent amongst creative people of the era. Along the way, she found that hedonism had as many drawbacks as benefits. Adapted from a novel by Howard Spring, the six-part Shabby Tiger was beamed out by Granada Television from July 11 to August 22, 1973.
