One Summer

[MORELLO]

Does anyone remember the CH4 drama 'One Summer' about two Liverpool lads, Billy & Icky, who took off to Wales on an adventure? Early eighties, I think. Any ideas where it could be found?

..this was one of my fave ever tv dramas, mainly because I'm from north wales, I was 14 when it was on tv and cried buckets when Icky died, funny Spencer Leigh did'nt go on to a successful career like David Morrisesey did...no idea where you could get this, my ex has it on video (taped off the tv)..let us know if you track it down as I would'nt mind a copy myself..(not on speaking terms with ex or else I'd ask him lol)..

I remember this too..."challenging TV" of its time. I was about 12...seem to remember Billy pulling the very attractive local girl and Icky crashing a stolen Ford Cortina and going out in a blaze of glory! Very good early C4 drame if I remember rightly!

Morello, thanks for reminding me of this drama, I have wondered for age's what it was called. God I remember crying buckets over this.

Incredibly,

Incredibly, it's been banned for release on DVD/VHS, as the director wasn't happy with the casting of Billy & Icky!

..if you go to the superb link that Steve_Luts has supplied, above, it tells you that w.russel has had a change of heart and that it may well be released in the near future...

Hi Guys,

I am the admin for the One Summer site quoted by Steve. I can confirm that Network DVD have taken up the option to release One Summer on DVD - and I'm expecting it to come out sometime early next year. If you want to be kept up to date on developments, just visit the site: http://one-summer.tv83.net/update.htm, and click on 'add me to the mailing list'.
