Think the 50's might be a little early for Budgie. I remember watching it in the 70's.Ian Cuthbertson was great as the the gang boss with the inevitable hardcase forever at his side. And who would not be intimidated by somebody callled 'Laughing Spam Fritter'?

Hi Jogon I could write a book about my childhood what about the time I was awal from Silverdale I did a runner me and a lad I met there. We set off for Leeds not knowing the way or how far it was found by the police and taken back.I had never been away from the streets it felt to me like borstal all i wanted was to be back to my dear Hunslet

Alan Bennett play featuring2. Brian Glover3. Pre-WW1 Halifax cycling club trip to Fountains Abbey.It would be a sin to give the plot away, or spoil 'the whole thing' by a youtube clip. I have it on boxed set dvd Bennett @ BBC ('bout £14 on amazon). This includes Sunset Across the Bay with archive footage of Leeds. According to his obituary, the recently deceased Paul Shane mad his TV debut in this play
