The Rag Nymph is a 1997 UK television miniseries directed by David Wheatley and adapted from the popular novel by Catherine Cookson. In 19th century urban England, young orphan Millie Forester (played by Perdita Weeks) lives on the streets by herself. Her prostitute mother commited suicide and a pimp wants to recruit her for a job at a brothel. Luckily she is saved by Aggie Winkovski (Val McLane), a bag lady who makes a living by selling junk and rags. Aggie has also taken in teenaged Ben (Alec Newman), who develops a special friendship with the young adult Millie (played by Honeysuckle Weeks).
When Annie Winkowski, a rag and bone lady in the slums of Newcastle, meets ten year old Millie Forester, the daughter of a prostitute, her well ordered existence takes a severe jolt.
Six years after being adopted by Aggie, Millie spreads her wings to take up a nursemaiding job in the country. When a stranger turns up on her doorstep claiming to be Millie's father, Aggie's suspicions are aroused.
Millie has transformed the rag-and-bone yard into a thriving bakery, utilising the skills that she learnt at the convent.
