A Forty Minutes documentary
Among 19,000 photographs submitted this year by proud mothers and fathers throughout the British Isles is the picture of one little girl, between the age of three and nine, who is destined to become 'Miss Pears 1983 . A panel of beauty experts will choose her on the basis of a photograph alone for her natural freshness, beauty and innocence. Hers will be the face that embodies the year's advertising campaign. Will 'Miss Pears 1983 be Katie from London, or Josie from Woking- . ham or Sophie from Painswick? Will the crowd go north to Jennifer in Scarborough, or across the Irish bea to Suzanne in County Down? Or will Gemma from Leek, the youngest of the finalists, be placed on the red-plush throne with her Teddy Bear when that envelope is opened?
The six finalists have spent two days in London while the judges are making up their minds. On the morning of the third day at Claridges the little girl will be revealed whose success will delight her mummy and daddy, whose face will launch a thousand posters and whose natural photogenic potentiar will bring into her piggy bank a cheque for £ 1,000.
