Alfonso Bonzo (final episode - part 1 of 3)

Final episode of the classic children's serial Alfonso Bonzo.

Alfonso Bonzo is a 1990 children's TV mini-series adapted from the book by the author Andrew Davies . The TV series starred Alex Jennings as Alfonso Bonzo and Scott Riley as Billy Webb, it also featured actor Brian Hall (Fawlty Towers Chef) as Billy's dad, and actress Fleur Taylor (Grange Hill's school bully Imelda Davis) as Billy's sister. Snooker's Ronnie O'Sullivan helped with the snooker sequences.

Billy Webb is a young boy who likes to swap things with his school mates. He meets Alfonso Bonzo, an "Italian exchange student" who also has a talent for swapping things (thus his self-description: he is an Italian student who exchanges things). Alfonso offers Billy a variety of temporary swaps to demonstrate his abilities: Billy's boring old dog for a greyhound that does ballet, the wonky Webb family television for a new model with a button that lets the viewer become part of the action, Billy's battered schoolbag full of unfinished homework for a brand new schoolbag containing a file folder that magically produces finished homework... but each swap has disadvantages as well as advantages, and Alfonso Bonzo cuts an increasingly sinister figure as he leads up to one last swap, this one for keeps.

The TV series later had a spinoff called Billy Webb's Amazing Stories, featuring Billy's further (non-Alfonso-related) adventures.

@206Broseph It was a young Ronnie O'Sullivan who helped with the snooker (see end credits on part 3), so it was probably him. :)
