Steve what was the name of the documentary that you taped this from. Obviously I missed it. Didnt know it existed until tonight. Thanks for the upload. Great to see the "then and now" clips of your home town : )
An absolute classic. Tom Courtney couldnt have been a better choice for this role.Even now years after the event it is so fresh and very funny. Hopefully all kids will laugh at Billy because there is so much of all of us in him.
Just watched Billy Liar for first time. I grew up in Bradford, seeing those locations was poignant, verging on surreal. Seen as some of those locations are now simply vanished, with the vast Wastefield Westfield abandoned hole in thevground shopping development. The super Market opened by Danny, my mum used to take us there as many others would go to, back in the 1980's when it was shoppers paradise.

I don't suppose you happen to have the rest of this documentary, do you?
If so, could you put it up
It would be great to be able to see the rest of it.

@steve01274 Being from Wakefield, I wouldn't have minded seeing the 'This Sporting Life' part; or the whole thing in fact.
I don't suppose you know what the program was called do you?
