Synopsis:
Ken Loach's raw and emotional adaptation of Barry Hines' novel about a shy young lad (David Bradley) in a northern mining town who finds his dreary and depressing life taking on a deeper meaning when he finds a baby kestrel and decides to keep it as a pet. Colin Welland, Lynne Perrie and Freddie Fletcher give sterling support, with a scene-stealing debut performance by Brian Glover as a no-nonsense games teacher. Brilliant, and an absolute must-see

David Bradley as Billy Casper, Colin Welland as Mr Farthing, Lynne Perrie as Mrs Casper, Brian Glover as Mr Sugden, Freddie Fletcher as Jud Casper, Trevor Hasketh as Mr Crossley, Mr Crossley as My Gryce, Eric Bolderson as Farmer, Zoe Sunderland as Librarian
