Six Days of Justice: We’ll Support You Evermore (ITV 15 May 1973, with Brian Pettifer)
In We’ll Support You Evermore a trio of teenagers, Herbert, Sunday and David, are in the magistrate’s court accused of football hooliganism. The altercation the boys became involved in was actually caused by an autographed programme belonging to Herbert being stolen. The actual ins and outs of what happened is all quite confused with the boys accusing each other of stealing the programme.
This was writer Shane Connaughton’s first TV credit, he would go on to major acclaim as the co-author of My Left Foot. It was a strong script too touching on such aspects as peer pressure and the lack of things to do for teenagers. The dialogue is excellent with lots of humour and there is a great performance from the always excellent elderly character actor Bert Palmer as Herbert Silk’s granddad.
Lots of well known faces popping up in this episode including a young Brian Pettifer, Mona Washbourne, Bruce Bould, Peter Hugo Daly and Gretchen Franklin (who was making her second appearance in the series having appeared in season one episode A Private Nuisance.)
