Page "Jenny Calendar" Paragraph 8

Jenny and Giles tentatively reignite their relationship in " Ted ".

According to Lorna Jowett, Jenny Calendar — and later, Olivia ( Phina Oruche )— serves to assure viewers that Giles, despite being a bookish man who spends most of his time with adolescents, is heterosexual and has no sexual interest in the teenage characters.

His relationship with Jenny also allows them to emphasize the generation gap between themselves and adults: they consider the idea of him as a sexual being " gross ".
