Dir: Les Blair
Starring: Bob Geldof and Alison Steadman
A down on his luck Irishman in London decides to play snooker for money
Despite having a supporting cast that included Phil Daniels, P. H. Moriarty, Mel Smith and Alfred Molina, this sporting drama is pretty terrible. It features one scene early on that is filmed adjacent to a railway station in south London with a 4 VEP EMU speeding through, but it is unknown exactly where this scene was filmed. Later, there are some scenes filmed on the promenade in Blackpool and in one shot there is a semi-distant, partly obscured view of a Balloon tramcar. The film was released in some countries as Streetwise.
