lainey, the story of that was told on that clip, but i read it in a book of all Loach's films.
The boys were told they would not be caned...... then at the last minute, Loach told the head to whack them....including the little boy....told just to ignore everything the little boy says......
Loach said the only way he could film the agony of being caned...was to cane them.....
After the first take, the boys revolted and refused to continue..... but then agreed a fee of 50p per further whack
They had to film from the front and also behind.
But the little lad, they 'only' caned him the once

You could get into a football stadium for around that (adult) which now costs anything up to £50 in some cases

I know, but that doesn't mean inflation has risen by that amount just the price of football tickets.
50p in the 70's got you what? It was £2 for Anfield.
My point is Ken could have bought them a bike each.

Well it was 1970..... so actually it was pre-decimilisation.
It was £1.50 for adults on The Kippax in 1979, so would have been well cheaper in 1970
When I was 16 in 1979 and buying my first pint.... it was around 60 - 65p a pint.... and around 14p for a bag of chips

He did ''Up The Junction''????
Very good film - and not very often screened - starring Dennis Waterman and Maureen Lipman!
Really? Just on TV? I haven't got one at the moment

Not that one, that was a remake of ken loachs original play for today version, which is better and more social realistic
