Ken Loach's acclaimed British drama focuses on Billy Casper (David Bradley), a tormented working-class boy who is subjected to abuse both at school and at home. The son of a single mother (Lynne Perrie), Billy's existence is mostly bleak until he takes up an interest in falconry and begins training a kestrel that he finds on a nearby farm. While Billy forms a close bond with the falcon, his hardscrabble life and harsh environment prove to be a challenge to the boy and his bird.

    My local chippy in Hoyland was used in the filming of this, and is called "Casper's".

    Lynne Perrie plays Billy's mam, a character with more in common with Elsie Tanner than Ivy Tilsley.

    Great film, no question. Looks like he's telling someone to "do one" in the poster though. Or do two.

    Karl Pilkington's favourite film, on par with The Elephant Man.

    Look out for the "Finding Kes" documentary on BBC Four (or Three?) featuring Greg Davies visiting Hoyland Common.
