Isn’t Aunty Beeb getting very hip and with it these days? Using words like ‘Screwed’ in the titles of their shows! Whatever next? Using the F word when Gordon Ramsay isn’t on the other end of it?! Mind you, this show was on BBC3, Aunty’s racy little sister…
And this show was very, very entertaining; I loved every minute of it! It was rather like Beadle’s About meets Watchdog, and the three very telegenic faces at the front of the show were infinitely prettier than most of the folks we usually see on consumer type shows. There was Spencer – who did the narrating bits – along with Polly and Carol who took on the roles of setting people up to teach us all a thing or two about consumer rights.

What a very sad little tale of an ordinary and all too common life this was. Tony left home at just 16 because of arguments with his mum, as do thousands of kids every year. At the beginning of Max Fisher’s touching and starkly real film, Tony, now 19, hadn’t seen his mum since then and desperately wanted to.
One of the very first things that came across loud and clear about Tony was that he was incredibly childlike for the most part, and very unworldly.
