Wissenswertes
Due to a union action by television technicians, the first four episodes were made in black and white as a protest over pay.

Crazy Credits
In the opening titles, the wording "Budgie", "Starring Adam Faith" and "And Iain Cuthbertson" is made up of piles of pound notes arranged on the ground into the shape of the lettering. These notes come from a briefcase which Budgie steals from a car and which he then drops, causing the banknotes to spill out.

World's least successful criminal.

I vaguely remember this from first time around but Talking Pictures TV in the UK has just started screening it from the very first episode. It was a bit of a shock, and an illustration of inflation, that a "full English" breakfast in a cafe was just 27 pence, which is hard to believe but back then £1,000 a year, yes a year, was consider to be a very good wage to be earning.

Very well cast and scripted with great plots and very well filmed, a nice blast from the past.

I look forward to the episodes to come. Budgie is not the luckiest person in the world.

I can't recommend this highly enough so tune in to TPTV and don't miss out.
