They did a dramatised one once, and we played two Arsenal supporters, not a hard push.

And then I end up getting a lead in a Children's Film Foundation movie called Hide and Seek with people like Liz Fraser, Alfred Marx, Roy DeTries.

And what age are you then? I'm definitely 11.

And she was quite extraordinary, and gradually more middle-class kids from the local, you know, the other side of the tracks at Islington came in.

My eyes got opened to a different world, you know? And, um, and anyway, I ended up with a film, uh, in the lead in a Children's Film Foundation movie, which was, you know, the old Saturday morning pictures, um, which is what we did before when we were kids, you know?

Mm.

I mean, certainly when I was a kid.

I had the lead in that, and it got a Children's Film Fou- it got a, a royal premiere.
