Bermondsey, South London. One of the most expensive parts of London, | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
full of swish apartment blocks and modern architecture. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
You'd have to have a nice few quid to live here now. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
But it wasn't always like that. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
When I grew up here, back in the '70s... | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
-YOUNG DANNY: -..there were council flats and corner shops, | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
factories and bombsites. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
It's beaten-up and run-down | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
and nobody's got any money. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
But it doesn't matter - | 0:00:25 | 0:00:26 | |
this is Bermondsey, South London, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
where I'm from. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:29 | |
# They say time will wait for no man | 0:00:34 | 0:00:39 | |
# They say time is on my side | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
# I can never make my mind up | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
# Cos it all goes whizzing by | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
-# From the cradle to the grave -# From the cradle to the grave | 0:00:52 | 0:00:57 | |
-# I know I won't be a slave -# I know I won't be a slave | 0:00:57 | 0:01:02 | |
# To the mistakes that I made | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
# From the cradle... | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
# We won't go | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
# Till I'm ready | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
# From the cradle to the grave. # | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
MUSIC: Tomorrow Night by Atomic Rooster | 0:01:12 | 0:01:17 | |
Will you turn that racket off? | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
I can't keep count here! | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
What?! It's Atomic Rooster. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
"It's Atomic Rooster?" | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
Do you hear that, Bet? It's Atomic Rooster(!) | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
Yeah, lovely, we'll have two of them next time, eh, Fred? | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
Here, what you got on your nut? | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
It's an activist's hat. John Lennon wears one. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
Does he? Well, you can give it back to him cos | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
-you're not going out dressed like that. -Why not? -"Why not?" | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
Cos you look like a big ginger beer, that's why not. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
Take it off your head and give it back to your mother. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
She can dry up with it. Danny! | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
Don't your mates want none of these footballs cluttering the house up? | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
They've all bought one. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
Bought one? Well, tell them to buy another one. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
You've got to knock them out, son. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
I've got 300 pairs of Wellington boots coming the day after tomorrow. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
This pump's poxed as well! | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
Home was number 11, Debnams Road, London. SE16. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
It was always full of "stuff". | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
Some items more readily shiftable than others. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
For a short while, one of Dad's most popular items | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
was continental quilts. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
# The best things in life are free... # | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
Here you go. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:13 | |
# But you can give them to the birds and bees... # | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
-That's it. Pass them on. -# I need money... # | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
It was like living inside an enormous bag of marshmallows. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
For days, my sister, Sharon, and my brother, Michael, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
-couldn't get into their bedrooms... -Michael! | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
Take that bleeding cap off. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
# Your love gives me such a thrill... # | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
Fred, we can't go on living like this. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
I've got nowhere to put me feet! | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
God knows where the bleeding dog is. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
I'm sorting it all out. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
It'll be gone by the weekend, girl. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
Get out of it! | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
And they were... | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
-Hi. -Are you all right? | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
-Thanks very much. See you, love. -Bye. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
..to be replaced by... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
And... | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
-Or once, as I remember... -DOGS BARK | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
This was Spud's economy. A kingdom where no detail was overlooked. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:08 | |
What are you doing? | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
Don't do that to me when I'm doing this. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
I'm straightening the electric out. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
I though we already had it straightened. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
Yeah, I'm making it completely straight. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
Fred, unless that wheel turns a bit, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
it looks like we don't use no electricity in this house. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
That's all right, if the bloke calls round | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
we'll have Michael answer the door, say we're all hippies. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
Bollocks. I've dropped my putty now. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
The phone's been cut off again, have you got any plans for that? | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
Yeah, I've told Sharon to tell them I've had a heart attack | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
and it's essential, so they'll have to put it back on. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
Hold my torch for me, will you? | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
I have been holding a torch for you | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
a long time, Freddy Baker. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
You watch it don't go out. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:49 | |
There you go, that's lovely, that. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
Aww. The putty's sticking out on that side. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
Well, it don't have to be tidy. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
You can see it, Fred. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
MUSIC: The Air That I Breathe by The Hollies | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
ZAPPING AND EXPLOSION | 0:04:01 | 0:04:02 | |
What the f...? | 0:04:02 | 0:04:03 | |
Stop the wheel! Stop the wheel! | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
Every turn's a fucking tenner! | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
I ain't touching... Oh, Fred! | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
I wish I could tell you that Dad was a legitimate importer/exporter. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
In fact, he was a docker... | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
# Divided, we'll fall... # | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
..and, as a result, quite a few ships left our ports | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
a little lighter than they should have. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
# Let's work together | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
# Come on, come on | 0:04:28 | 0:04:29 | |
# Let's work together | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
# Now, now, people | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
# Because together we will stand... # | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
Are you sure we can drink this? | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
I promise you, methanol - same as alcohol. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
This is what they make it from. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
It's the same family. It's the "..ohol" bit. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
What you talking about? It's not "alcanol," is it? | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
Trust me, Spud. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
It's booze. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:48 | |
Look, it must be on its way to a German distillery. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
In that case, | 0:04:51 | 0:04:52 | |
I think we're entitled to a little bit of export tax, don't you? | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
-What's it like? -'king hell! | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
Can you still see us, Spud? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
It's not a bad drop, that. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
Ooh, it's not. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:04 | |
Handsimonious, that. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
Go and get a hose. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:10 | |
We'll siphon it off. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
Do you know what I think that is? | 0:05:12 | 0:05:13 | |
I think that's what they call "schnapps." | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
I had schnapps in Frankfurt | 0:05:16 | 0:05:17 | |
when I was in the army. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
I think the krauts might have won the war | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
if they'd laid off this stuff. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:22 | |
Here we go. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
ALL: Oh! | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
It was embalming fluid. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
I'd like to say he didn't still bottle it up | 0:05:30 | 0:05:31 | |
and sell it around Bermondsey, but I've never been 100% certain. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
And so, to the night Colin, | 0:05:36 | 0:05:37 | |
my sister's Sharon's boyfriend, | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
was coming round to our place for the first time. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
I think I'll meet Colin at the top of the street, Mum. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
Oh, don't be so silly. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
You're building it up too much. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
And I've told your dad not to embarrass you. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
He won't be wearing them plimsolls, will he? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
I don't know. I told him not to. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
Aye, aye. Where's he going? | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
Out with Sharon. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:01 | |
What, with her and Steamboat Bill? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:02 | |
He's called Colin, Dad. And I wish he wasn't coming round now. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
He's all right, Sharon. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:06 | |
Your father makes a lot of noise | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
but he ain't going to do nothing, are you Fred? | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
Me?! Anyway where's he taking her, to go and see Joey Hendrix? | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
Jimi Hendrix - and he's dead. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
All right, all right. Don't you start. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
Just cos I let you have one orange jacket. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
What have I told you about the way he's turning out? | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
They're taking Danny out to the theatre, I told you. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
Oh, yeah. The one where they all strip off. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
Yeah, It's a protest musical. It's political. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
"Political?" Does he know they get it all out? | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
That's just paper talk, Fred. It ain't nothing like that. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
I hoped it wasn't. I'd been thinking about nothing else for two weeks... | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
DOORBELL RINGS | 0:06:35 | 0:06:36 | |
-DOG BARKS I'll get that. -Fred... | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
All right, all right, I'm not a crackpot! | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
Hello, Mr Baker, I'm Colin. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:45 | |
MUSIC: Hole In My Shoe by Traffic | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
Well, you can fuck off for a start. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
-Fred! -What? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
-I'm Colin. -Sure you're not Andy Capp? | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
I've, er, I've come to pick Sharon up. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
Oh, no, mate. The only thing you'll be picking up, dressed like that, | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
is your nose off the pavement if you don't shift, son. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
Oh, leave him alone! | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
-Hello, boy. Don't mind him, he don't mean it. -Don't I? | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
If you think I'm letting a daughter of mine walk out | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
with some soapy fucker in plimsolls, you've got another thing coming! | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
-I'll meet you by the bus stop. -Oi, Oi, Oi! | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
I'll be up there meself in a couple of minutes | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
and if you're still there, | 0:07:23 | 0:07:24 | |
you're going straight under the next double decker, all right? | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
For God's sake, Dad! | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
-What d'you have to go and talk to him like that for? -Well... | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
We're still going, ain't we? | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
Plimsolls. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
Shall I just wait here? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:41 | |
I don't know, I don't know where he is. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
(Sharon!) | 0:07:44 | 0:07:45 | |
(Sharon!) | 0:07:45 | 0:07:46 | |
Colin... | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-..what are you doing over here? -Are you on your own? | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
He won't really throw you under a bus. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-He's a bloody maniac, your dad. -He don't mean any of that. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
Well, why does he say it then? | 0:07:58 | 0:07:59 | |
Anyway, what are you wearing them poxy plimsolls for? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
I told you not to. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:03 | |
Ain't you got any other shoes? | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
A pair of Persian slippers and some orange desert boots. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
Fair enough. Come on. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
'I'd actually been quietly crushed by Dad's reaction. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
'You see, I absolutely idolised Colin | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
'and I loved how he looked.' | 0:08:16 | 0:08:17 | |
All right? 'Even his plimsolls.' | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
What's wrong with plimsolls anyway? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
What's wrong with YOU? | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
Me and my mates could only dream of gear like Colin's. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
With the end-of-year disco looming, | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
the peak of our fashion ambition was a pair of two-tone tonic trousers. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
Do you reckon they'll still have 'em next week? | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
I ain't go no chance. I've only got a pound. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
Ain't me birthday till March. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
What are you going to be, six? | 0:08:38 | 0:08:39 | |
Oh, six! At least I've got a mum. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
I ain't getting them in plum and blue. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:45 | |
Everyone's got them in plum and blue. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
They don't do them in our size in turquoise and gold. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
-Yeah, they do, I've seen them. -No, you ain't. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
Oi, oi, what's this - tramp's outing? | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
Hello, Len, what you got? | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
-Pair of tonics. -You're joking. Show us. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
ANGELIC CHOIR SINGING | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
Oi, Oi, Oi. Off the cloth, moth. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
I told you they did them in turquoise and gold in our size. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
They don't any more. These are the last ones. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
-What do you mean? -Old man Nelson marked my card, didn't he? | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
That's it, they ain't making them in our size any more. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
What, they're the last pair? | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
They got loads of plum and blue left. Thousands of them. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
Now, unlike you 'moes, I've got loads of birds to shag. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
So, you, drop...back! | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
INDISTINCT | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
# I'm in with the in crowd | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
# I go where the in crowd goes... # | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
I think plum and blue are the best, y'know? | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
Especially with all the lighting in there. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
What are you all dressed the same for? | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
Cos these are in. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:52 | |
Plum and blue? | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
-Lenny Byart's got a pair of turquoise and gold. -Yeah, we know. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
And he's taking Marion Chivers out in them on Wednesday. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
What? I didn't know he was going out with Marion Chivers. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
He wasn't. But he's got a pair of turquoise and golds now, hasn't he? | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
Here, I'm asking her out. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
Amanda Bold? You ain't got no chance, mate. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
No, no, no. I think she likes me. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
Oi, oi! | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
Len, where are your turquoise and golds? | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
I'm not going to waste 'em here, am I? | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
You all look the same, you divaloes. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
AND that's West Ham colours. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
Drop...back! | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
Look, Len, Len. I need to ask you something. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
I've got to borrow your turquoise and golds. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
Oh, get lost, mate - no chance. I ain't even worn them myself yet. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
Do us this one favour. Come on. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
Remember when I let you shoot me in the arse with that air pistol? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
-Yeah. -I'm going to ask out Amanda Bold, you see, Len, | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
and all you need to do is borrow them to me for two hours. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
It's guaranteed then, innit? | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
You're mental. I'm not going to lend you trousers | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
-when I ain't even worn them myself. -Oh, come on, you've got to. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
I'll give you a pound. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:50 | |
I don't want a pound. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:51 | |
-All right. I'll give you five pound. -You ain't got five pound! | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
All right, I'll give you a pound. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
Come on - they're only going to be hanging up in your house. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
A pound? For two hours? | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
Just while I ask her out. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
All right. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:07 | |
Lenny's reluctance was unusual. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
People on the estate were normally quite happy to help each other out. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
Freddie. Fred. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
Floating. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:15 | |
Freddie? Can you help Lil out? | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
-Why? What's the matter? -Radio Rentals say they're coming round | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
-to take our telly back. -Where's Wal? | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
Oh, he's gone out. He'll have a right hump about it. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
The Avengers is on tonight. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
He likes that. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:28 | |

I'm sorry, but I've come to take the set back. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
God... Um, I suppose you'd better come in, then. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
-Who's this? -It's Radio Rentals. This is my husband, Walter. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
-The man's come to... -I've come to repossess the set. -You what? | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
-Stand aside, please, sir. It's our property. -I'm sorry, Wally. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
-Well, how long has she been missing the payments? -About eight weeks now. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
-I'm really sorry, honestly I am. -I'm sure you are...now. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
Look, I've been giving her the money, mate, | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
-she's been spending it. -Well, it was only on food, Wally. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
Bollocks to food! She's been up the bingo with it. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
Here! Go on, take the thing. Take it. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
Sorry about this, mate. I can't apologise enough. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
And as soon as you're out that door, mate, I'll knock it out of her. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
-Please, Wally, I didn't mean to! -No, and I won't mean to neither. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
-Not in front of the man, Wally... -He won't save you. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
Now, now, wait a minute, Mr Shaw. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
I don't want this to get nasty. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:39 | |
-You clear off - I'll sort this myself. -Look, please, please. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
I don't want to cause any ructions - I can't leave it like this. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
How about I go back and have a word about extending your credit? | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
Oh, could you? | 0:12:50 | 0:12:51 | |
Oh, that would be marvellous, Mr...? | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
What if I were to do that, sir? | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
Well, you can pay for it, | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
out of your housekeeping - cos I'm not paying twice. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
Yes, Wally. Straight. I will. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
Go on, then! Put it back. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
Actually, could I try it over there? | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
I've always wanted to move it. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
Actually, I did like it better where it was. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
Here. There you go, mate. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
There's five bob for your aggravation. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
Oh, thank you very much! | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
Hey-hey! | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
Oh, Freddie, you are murder. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:39 | |
He thought you was going to kill me. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
Only thing that gets knocked is Radio Rentals! | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
There you go, girl, that should see you right for a couple of months. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
Oh, ta, love. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:48 | |
The nearest thing we had to a youth centre | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
was a creepy street of abandoned old houses, | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
locally known as Mud Island. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
Why? | 0:13:55 | 0:13:56 | |
Cos they were literally sinking into the rotten, Rotherhithe mud. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
Yeah, there's shit in here somewhere. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
Always is in old houses. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:07 | |
I reckon Teddy Dunderdale's been in here again. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
Always leaves them behind. It's his trademark. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
-Where's Martin? -Lenny's dropping the trousers round. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
He ain't really borrowing them, is he? | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
Yeah, he's paid a pound to use them. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
Lenny told me it was a fiver. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:19 | |
Why would he pay a fiver when they only cost 2.25? | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
-Turquoise and gold. -Amanda Bold. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |

What was that noise? | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |

Oh, shit... | 0:15:42 | 0:15:43 | |
-Martin. -Martin. -Martin. -Martin! | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
Mart? | 0:15:59 | 0:16:00 | |
He ain't moving. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
Shit. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
Other than a few pets, this was our first proper experience of death. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
We hadn't quiet mastered grief either... | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
Dickie was crying. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
No, I'm not! | 0:16:19 | 0:16:20 | |
Oi, shut up. It's Martin's auntie. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
Len, what's up? | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
Do you reckon his mum brought my trousers? | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
-Oh, shut up about your trousers. -Well, when can I ask for them back? | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
Not today. Have some respect. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:38 | |
Yeah, you're going to have to wait at least another week, mate. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-Too late. I'm going out with Amanda Bold on Friday. -Amanda Bold? | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
I thought you were going out with Marion Chivers. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
-Yeah, I am. -So, how comes you're going out with Amanda Bold as well? | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
Well, he's not going out with her now, is he? | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
Would you boys like to come in and pay your respects now? | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |

So, anyway, there I was, with Colin and Sharon, | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
sitting in the West End, | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
waiting for loads of actresses to start prancing about in the nude. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
This had to go better than the last time | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
I'd attempted to see a female in the state of undress. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |

In the process, | 0:18:51 | 0:18:52 | |
I worked out that me and my newly acquired girlfriend, Yvonne, | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
would have the flat to ourselves for a few hours. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |

I'd recently witnessed what had happened | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
to the last member of our family to really upset Mum. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
Tom the tortoise. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
Dad adored Tom, even though they seemed to be constantly arguing. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
Now, I won't tell you again, | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
stop fucking eating my crysanths. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
Listen to me, | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
that's your side of the garden and that's mine. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
Stay away from my side, do you understand? | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
Dad, he's a tortoise. He can't understand, can he? | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
Heh-heh! He understands all right. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
And another thing, stay out the front room, got it? | 0:22:25 | 0:22:29 | |
This is how Dad spoke to everything, | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
from blue bottles... | 0:22:31 | 0:22:32 | |

And I daren't even guess what was going to happen to me. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
Fred, he's in now. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:06 | |
Right, leave him to me. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:07 | |
Well, don't hurt him. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
I know exactly what to do here. Are you all right now? | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
Well, I am now, but I shall never get over what I saw. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
FOOTSTEPS | 0:24:14 | 0:24:15 | |
Where are you? | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
Your mother's been downstairs crying all day long | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
cos of what she's seen round Nan's. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
She said it was like a fucking knocking shop round there. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
You had your trousers round your ankles showing all you ain't got - | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
who the fuck do you think you are, Joey Hendrix or whoever he's called? | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
Have you gone batchy? I've never heard anything like it | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
in ALL MY LIFE! | 0:24:36 | 0:24:37 | |
(Take no notice, son. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
(It's just for her, this. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:40 | |
(I was the same at your age.) | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
And you can go to bed hungry tonight! | 0:24:42 | 0:24:43 | |
Bollocks to your tea, | 0:24:43 | 0:24:44 | |
and bollocks to going out for the rest of the week and all. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
(Getting on all right, was you? Before she turned up?) | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
Have you got that? | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
You're in disgrace, you are. Don't forget it! | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
It was an incredible moment. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
That night, I realised we were both men of the world. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:04 | |
So, anyway, there I was, | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
finally waiting to witness this much-talked-about event | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
in British theatre. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:10 | |
MUSIC: From Hair The Musical | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
And then, at that generation-defining moment, | 0:25:13 | 0:25:17 | |
two things. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:18 | |
First, I hadn't quite factored in | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
that I'd be sitting next to my own sister... | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
..and second, blokes. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
The cast was mainly blokes. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
And then it happened... | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
SLAP | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
I'll say goodnight, then. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
I said... | 0:26:19 | 0:26:20 | |
Well, did you see anything? | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
Just arses or did they run around? | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
How was their orchestra stalls? | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
Any of them keep their plimsolls on? | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
MUSIC: Baba O'Riley by The Who | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
If this was the counterculture, | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
then give me Val Doonican, | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
give me Pinky and Perky, | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
but above all, right now, | 0:26:47 | 0:26:48 | |
someone give me a flannel. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
After everything that had happened, | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
we no longer felt like using Mud Island | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
as an adventure playground. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
I'd be careful where you tread in there. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
Teddy! | 0:27:15 | 0:27:16 | |
It's his trademark! | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
We never forgot our mate but, soon enough, | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
we did find other uses for the old place. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:25 | |
Sharon finished with Colin not long after that night out. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
She said he wasn't her sort of bloke, | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
which was exactly why Dad spoke to him the way he did. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:35 | |
It was a test, and Colin had failed it. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
See you later. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:38 | |
Michael! | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
My old man never missed a thing. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:41 | |
# They say time will wait for no man | 0:27:47 | 0:27:51 | |
# They say time is on my side | 0:27:52 | 0:27:56 | |
# I can never make my mind up | 0:27:57 | 0:28:01 | |
# As it all goes whizzing by | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
# From the cradle to the grave | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
# From the cradle to the grave | 0:28:06 | 0:28:09 | |
# I know I won't be a slave | 0:28:09 | 0:28:12 | |
# I know I won't be a slave... # | 0:28:12 | 0:28:13 |
