scum on tonight 10pm itv4 worth a watch i switch over at the potting garden shed bit

Great film
will they cut out the rape seen though
cant see itv leaving it in

hope there do mate hate that bit

its an important part of the story line and gives it that gritty british signiture that our films seem to lack these days
Alan Clarke is a fantastic director he also did The Firm with Gary oldman

Porridge on LSD. Used to have it on VHS and haven't seen it for years. Never met Ray Winstone but if I ever did I'd have an overriding urge to say, "who's the daddy?!" But if I did I feel I'd get a smack in the face.

There we go... "Who's the daddy?"

class film ... grumpy old Harry from Brookie in it too ...

I turn it off when that bit comes on..it's horrid..

The wrist-slashing part is equally as bad IMO... it's a must-see, but I could only really stomach it the once.

Now that is one I watch again and again... WANKERS!!!! The superindendent's speech where he draws on the blackboard is just brilliant.

It was part of a tv series called Play for Today, which also included the supremely brilliant Nuts in May. Kiss Prudence!

Compare that to the rivers of shite on the four main channels now. Thank god for BBC4.

^^ scum was originally a bbc play i think. they showed it for the first time in yonks a while back. this message brought to you in association with details

Yes that's correct, a quick wiki search tells me that Scum was a Play for Today too.

Remember watching Made In Britain , thought it was excellent at the time and would like to see again (unfortunate;y at work so better not watch the link with sound up )

Same as others have said about Scum, makes pretty grim viewing parts of it

I think Boys from the Black Stuff was originally from Play for Today as well
