Yeah, that was excellent. Mark Tibbs was also in it but Jimmy stood out.

yes it does qualify as a feature film IMO, and so does the follow up, the low budget improvised drama REAL MONEY. both are excellent. harry mullan hailed FIGHTERS as an outstanding film; didn't BM slag it off for not having pretty, polished, slick camerawork? or have i imagined it?

Cant believe Somebody Up There Likes Me with Paul Newman playing Rocky Graziano doesn't get a mention.

The boxing episode of Porridge was good as well.
