It's the early 1950's and, in a small seaside town, a group of mates in the building trade find there is nothing better than escaping to their own world - the Figaro Club. Their inscrutable leader, Big Jim, is a carpenter by day and at the centre of a club that has it's own private language and call-to-arms. Their nemesis is the Chief of Works at the council office, Harold Perkins, a dictator of epic proportions whose social climbing knows no bounds.

Our Review: Originally part of BBC Bristol's Turning Year Tales series this tale of working-class Peter Pan's attracted sufficient interest to be turned into a series of its own. A well-observed slice of fifties nostalgia that had an authentic feel but was labelled as being too sentimental. Doctor Who in waiting, Sylvester McCoy played 'Turps' - the wild man of the group - and was billed in the credits as Sylveste McCoy.
