"There’s two things I hate in this world Budgie, and both of them are you."Budgie Bird is a born loser - a petty crook who clings to the fringes of Soho’s bent society. An incorrigible optimist, he has an eye for easy money, pretensions to the big time and a cornered market in failure. But Budgie bounces along - a snowball in Charlie Endell’s private hell.
Adam Faith gives a career-best performance as chancer extraordinaire Budgie Bird in the top-rated London Weekend Television drama series that was first transmitted in 1971. Created and written by celebrated screenwriters Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall (Billy Liar, Worzel Gummidge) and with a solid supporting cast including Lynn Dalby as Budgie’s long-suffering girlfriend and Iain Cuthbertson (Children of the Stones, The Railway Children) as the bad-tempered spiv Charles Endell, esquire. The series attracted a high calibre of guest stars such as Georgina Hale (as Budgie’s wife, Jean), Anthony Valentine, Peter Sallis, Jack Shepherd, Betty Marsden, John Thaw and John Rhys-Davies.
