ITV Playhouse

Last Summer (8x8)

Air date: Jun 21, 1977

The story of one summer spent by two London teenagers who choose very different career paths on leaving school; one becomes a car thief and the other tries a more conventional job. The late Richard Beckinsale played a London gangster who becomes the car thief's mentor - a very different role than that of the naive Lenny Godber that Beckinsale played in Ronnie Barker's prison sitcom 'Porridge'.
