Gemma Arterton plays Rita O’Grady, the central character in the show and also the film where the role was played by Sally Hawkins. Arterton’s portrayal of Rita O’Grady is perfectly balanced in strength and vulnerability, making her endearing and her performance extremely demanding. Arterton is supported by possibly one of the most colourful and funniest group of women ever, the blend of characters complement one another perfectly and the language used is, well rather blue but by no means gratuitous. The strength the lead female ensemble have is so powerful it actually makes you wonder how the men in power at Ford dare to take them on.
