Budgie

Small-time crook Ronald 'Budgie' Bird is released from prison and determined to get back to business. He plans to hijack a lorry-load of cosmetics but discovers something else entirely.

Budgie makes use of a flat in Soho, courtesy of Charlie Endell. Meanwhile, Hazel's mother has plans.

In pursuit of a big opportunity, Budgie travels to Watford, where he catches up with his estranged wife Jean.

Budgie tries to persuade Charlie Endell to buy a film projector, then attempts to pull off a con on members of a rugby club.

Now that Budgie is in the money, covetous Charlie gets close to him.

Budgie is now working in Charlie's bookshop, and doing well. Hazel has a problem that draws Budgie back to his old school and into a spot of bother.

Budgie's best friend, Maguire, needs his help, but both get into deep trouble.

Budgie launches a farming business, but one without a farm or any animals.

Jack Bird adds complications to Budgie's already troubled domestic life.

Budgie's sister, Vi, is getting married...as long as Budgie can persuade the groom to come to the church.

Budgie is drawn into the world of show business.

It's Charlie Endell's birthday, and Budgie gives him a present.
