A Children's Film Foundation Production. Based on the book by Bernard Ashley.
A classic and brilliant C.F.F. production from the early eighties. One of my absolute favorites. It was last broadcast (to my knowledge) on the BBC in 1990.
Starring:
Jack McNicholl as Terry Harmer
Neville Watson as Les Hicks
Jeffrey Ward as Mick
Matthew Barker as Denis
Brian Coyle as "Plastic-Head"
Margery Mason as Terry's Gran
Susan Jameson as Terry's Mum
Martin Fisk as Mr Harmer Terry's Dad
Tracey Ann-Morris as Tracey Terry's Sister
Helen Keating as Mrs Hicks Les's mother
Marianne Stone as Mrs. Parsons
Directed by Frank Godwin
Most of the cast and crew still work in film and television today. Further information about the cast and crew can be found here at the Internet Movie Database (IMDB): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0354096/fullcredits#cast
If anyone has any further information about the cast and where they are today (particularly Jack McNicholl) or were involved in the production I'd love to know. Please post a comment or send an email.

That boy hasnt got alot of common sense has he?. When he found out that older boys address, why didnt he go back to his head master and tell him where he lives?, then let the police take it from there?.

02:39 (most confusing question ever?)
"If you really want to convince me, that you don't know who this boy is....then you tell me his name?"

does anyone remember a similar type of kids film where a young boy gets caught up with some older kids and they break into a house,wreck the place and let the budgie out of its cage, then set the cutains on fire before all running off, probably mid 80's... iv been trying to find out what it is for ages.
