"You must pay like all the others, get out!"

"Nice work if you can get it."
Rod Turner (Ian McShane) is an over the hill and alcoholic football, but he wants one last crack at stardom. He finds help from ex-girlfriend Cloudy Martin (Suzanne Somers), a pop star who pursuades her partner Clint Simon (Paul Nicholas) to place him with his team.
Never able to develop the dramatic possibilities to make it beyond a typical b-movie.

"Oh I am most sorry, did I hurt you?"
The new vicar of a parish Rev Mullet (Leo Franklyn) learns that he has to share the church hall with a boxing gym and its canny promoter Wally Burton (William Hartnell).
