Adam Faith delivered a compelling performance as Ronald ‘Budgie’ Bird, a recently released petty criminal navigating life post-incarceration. Iain Cuthbertson co-starred as Charlie Endell, a Glaswegian gangster operating in London, who frequently employed Budgie despite reservations about his reliability or when a naive scapegoat was required. Lynn Dalby portrayed Hazel, Budgie’s enduring and supportive girlfriend, who navigated the challenges of their relationship with resilience. This clip is from Series 1, Episode 9.
