Pauline Campbell-Jones

"Hokey-cokey, pig in a pokey!"

- Pauline's catchphrase Pauline Campbell-Jones is a character in the black comedy series The League of Gentlemen. Played by Steve Pemberton, she is a Restart officer at the Roysten Vasey's job centre who openly despises the "dole scum" who attend her course and has a strange fixation with pens. Despite her general unpleasant behaviour, she showed affection to Mickey M. Michaels, a simple minded young man who attended her course, and eventually married him at the end of the series.

History
Among the unemployed men attending Pauline's restart course is Ross Gaines, who is considerably more intelligent than her. Throughout Series One, Ross frequently tries to embaress Pauline when she asked him to assist her in demonstartions, but Pauline often resorts to physical violence in order to secure the upper hand. In the very first episode of ther series, she stops Mickey from leaving for an interview for a fireman, his dream job, but as the series progressess, she shpows genuine care for him.

In the final episode of Season 1, Ross reveals he is an undercover agent who has been montering Pauline and her course. Naturally, he fires her, and in Series 2 she is forced to attend to course, now headed by Cathy Carter-Smith. Smith quickly turns out to be even worse than Pauline ever was, and Pauline stands up for Mickey when Smith calls him stupid. The two eventually secure jobs at a burger resturant, but they are fired after Pauline sabotages Ross's veggie burger in revenge. Eventually, Pauline and Mickey hold Ross hostage in a desperate attempt to get her old job back, but no one takes notice due to the nosebleed epidemic sweeping through Roysten Vasey. When Mickey gets hungry, Pauline sneaks out to get him food, and during this time Ross tricks Mickey into freeing him. When she returns to the job centre, Pauline is arrested by the police, just before she is able to bite into the sandwich she bought from Eunice Evans' sandwhich stall, ironically savinge her from being poisened.
