One Summer ( 80s Tv Series )

Mon Mar 31, 2014 4:39 pm

This is the story of two Liverpool youths who go to the hills and valleys of Wales to escape the gangs and turmoil of Liverpool and try to recapture a happy moment in Billy's life - a camping trip to North Wales. Set during Thatcher's Britain, they come from the Liverpool of 1983, a tough gritty, uncompromising city and a long way from the magical days of the Beatles.

For the teenagers, Billy and Icky, things are getting a little too close for comfort. Like brushes with the police, the spectre of unemployment and the attentions of rival gangs. However they don't find the calm idyllic life they expect in Wales. They have people like Kidder to contend with - a strange man, a loner who could very well change their lives.
