LOL, no-one ever remembers this! I thought it was later in the 80s but the only info I can find on the net is scant info on IMDB that says it was screened in 1983.

The programme was called 'The Boy Who Won the Pools' and was a drama on a Sunday night. Basically about a teenager who wins the football pools and about his lavish lifestyle. Anyone else recall seeing it?

I cannot say that I recall the show but from Feb '83 it apparently had the 5:30pm timeslot leading to Bullseye.

Further info from TVCream...

17-year-old Rodney Baverstock wins 758,000 pounds and 27 pence thanks to aunt's coupon.

Resultant riches lead to red Ferrari, a tiger, a giant mansion and bankrolling soul singer mate Sami Tate's recording career, plus crowd of hangers-on included Swedish chauffeur (and naturist) Claudia, Rastafarian gardner Leroy, long-suffering (aren't they always?) girlfriend Liz and best mate Thornton (who thought he was a robot).
