4 Idle Hands

4 Idle Hands is a ‘forgotten children’s TV gem’ from 1976 starring a very youthful Phil Daniels and a fresh faced Ray Burdis. Both 18 at the time of filming and seasoned professionals by then, with many TV appearances under their belt. Set in the fictional suburban town of Wickton ‘jack the lads’ Mike Dudds (Daniels) and Pete Sutton (Burdis) are facing an uncertain future as they are about to leave school. They have no career plans, no qualifications and will not entertain the idea of further education. Instead they decide to throw caution to the wind and take whatever life throws at them. Both intelligent in the street savvy sense, and daring, as they take what any opportunity comes their way, from running a market stall to trying to become deep sea divers, but nothing seems to work out in an amusing sense. Yet in the spirit of youth, they never admit defeat, just dust themselves off and start all over again.
