Gertrude Nash

Gertrude Nash, who plays the role of Emma in CD Annex Mobile Seminar Suite, was born a giant. Her child coming out at seven feet tall, Gertrude’s mother holds the world record for most profanities in one hour. Gertrude has had well over 20 children, but sadly each child has absorbed more and more of her height and has left her at just under three feet tall. To play the role of Emma, Gertrude must wear very extensive prosthetics, and very tall stilts. A trained puppeteer, Gertrude was the most qualified person the directors could find to play the role and control the partially-mechanised ‘Emma Suit’ invented specially for the series. The character of Emma was brought in at the last minute, having previously been scripted to speak only off-camera. However, with the character firmly established, the ‘Emma Suit’ became a roaring success, with knock-offs rising to be the most popular of all CD Annex Mobile Seminar Suite merchandise.
