The classic tiger-T-shirt British kids' flick.
For the retro enthusiasts, this episode of the Friday Film Specials was shown:

24th April 1987 4:39-5:34 pm BBC1

24th June 1988 4:36-5:31 pm BBC1

30th October 1988 12:03-12:58pm BBC2

Sammy tries hard but he's a real weakling at running races - with the help of his mate and a Super T-shirt, he finally sets the track alight...

Check out the BFI page if you have access, this film is the Universities and Colleges public domain.

  • I left the house this morning and it was a still, overcast British summer day, the dense foliage making it dark and shadowy in places on the empty suburban road. I thought to myself, man, it's a Friday Film Special day, anything could happen.

  • @WrathschildFink Yeah man we need more of that feeling.. the wondrous sense of youthful adventure, untouched by the insidious and all-encompassing fingertips of Technos.

  • Great stuff. Brings back fond memories of summer holidays.

    That music at 1:11 seems a bit derivative of the music Burt Bacharach did for Casino Royale (The bit when the casino get's attacked), I admire the cheekiness of that.

    The composer probably thought, 'oh, it's just a CFF film, no-one will find out.'

  • That's v.observant, it IS the sort of music that was in Casino Royale (the 'original' spoofy Casino Royale with David Niven and Peter Sellers..)

  • Sammy the cracked out kid.

  • Breakout was the name of that film mrtoon

  • That film was called breakout mrtoon

  • Yes I remember! I think was it Philip Schofield who was in the broom cupboard and used to present it as the friday film special!! absolute class others included - Billys pond, the glitter ball and what was the other one with Doney the bull called? I just remember that bit where he says in a rough cockney acent that his favourite meal was "fish and chips"!!! infact I think I feel a look round for those films coming on!!! Very cheesy but so cheesy they are good!!!

  • Wow remember back in '87 these movies looked dated even then. The only Friday film special I can vaguely recall is "One Hour to Zero". A story about a nuclear power station going into meltdown and everyone had to evacaute the area.

  • Nostalgia, one of my favorite movies when I was a kid !!
