A grimy travelogue of 1970s Balham

Micky Dolenz uses Peter Sellers' exposé of the highights and lowlights of 1970s Balham as inspiration to produce his own grand oeuvre. Somewhere a young Robbie Coltrane is hiding among the cast. See if you can spot him. A masterpiece of seediness which doesn't reflect the bustling 21st century multicultural gentrified town which Balham has become in the last 30 years. Love it.
