    Never mind the plot. It's an evocative film that captures scenes familiar to me as a child. Even the lad at Charlton watching football with his school cap. Why did we have to wear caps going to school anyway? 1963 would have been the last year operating the old Woolwich ferry. The Beatles hit the charts and so much changed after that.

    I was about 8 just after this time and used to cycle from Abbey Wood to go across the Woolwich Ferry with my mate.
    These days kids are not even allowed to go to school on their own

    Lots of familiar scenes from my childhood. But what the hell was this film about ?

      As far as I remember it had a capacity of 75,000 in the old days when everyone stood.

    Bloody hell, I remember Woolwich like this. A high street, bus routes and department stores including Cuffs. Not like the horrible place now, it's only the people that make it that way.

    In one of the shots towards the end he is running across allotments and there is what looks like gas holder East Greenwich No.1 in the background, but of course in 1963 there would have been two gas holders there. I have spent a lot of time on photoshop trying to persuade myself that there is the ghost of East Greenwich No. 2 behind it but rather lost in the murk. Or is this a different gas holder somewhere else? There were quite a lot allotments near East Greenwich gasworks which wouldn't have been true of other gasworks in the borough particularly those in the Arsenal. She

      It’s a weird horror about a former mental patient that mistakenly gives children his pills thinking they were sweats.. so everyone is rushing around to save the kids who have the pills and the police are trying catch the mental patient if that helps…

    Back when i felt like being an American felt like i was free..that i coukd do or achieve anything. Today, not so much. Feels like America and its people are about to implode in a real bad way, society and economy on the verge of complete collapse. Sad. TY for some fond memories
