Twentyfourseven
The title is local Midlands English slang for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This poignant, hard-hitting drama focuses on an idealistic 1980s burnout (Bob Hoskins-superb) who tries to encourage the aimless, unemployed youth who live in the local housing estates by setting up a boxing club. Plenty of grit and excellent performances from Danny Nussbaum, James Hooton and Darren Cambell.
