The Pimlico kid

the long version

It's 1963. Billy Driscoll and his best mate, Peter 'Rooksy' Rooker, have the run of their street. Whether it's ogling sexy mum, Madge, as she pegs out her washing, or avoiding the local bully, Griggsy, the estates of Pimlico have plenty to fire their fertile imaginations. After years of being the puny one, Billy is finally filling out. He is also taking more than a passing interest in Sarah Richards, his pretty neighbour. But Billy isn't her only admirer - local heartthrob Kenneth 'Kirk' Douglas, likes her too - and something drastic must be done if Billy is to get his girl.
