I'm reading the thread from an iPhone so u while watching the YouTube clip press main button and at same time click on/off switch. Or vice versa. (Must be a simple equivalent on a computer). Click away merrily as the film is running then choose best shot. Now you've got a screenshot saved as a photo. Tp post it on LFW follow instructions under the message text box on this site for posting images from your own computer. Straightforward once you know how.
Btw: In narrative terms this (early) scene is the protagonist finding tools and treasures for the road ahead. Just before he finds the Rs top he bites into an apple (knowledge), finds an old Charles Atlas chest expander (strength) and then the QPR top ... (skills?) A little later he shags the landlady and later still the Ralph Richardson character gives him a magic gold lamé suit. Only thing missing is Stan Bowles naked in the bath reading the Racing Post.

A QPR top can only signify the soul-crushing disappointment of failed dreams. If it had been the away strip he would have topped himself there and then.
I haven’t seen the BT Film, but JR was funny on the quickly Kevin podcast - Paul Ince ringing him in the middle of the night for Tomb Raider tips. I have a dim memory of him interviewing a teenage Jay Bothroyd on the steps of a church in Perugia. Gaddafi era?

You''ve nailed it Isaw. Travis is tempted by the alluring hoops which unbeknown to him will bring certain anguish and stymied goals. About to wear the hooped shirt left abandoned by the previous lodger, he is interrupted by the mysterious old man (wizard, Ralph Richardson not Roy Wood) in the next room who then gives him the gold lamé jacket of magical powers. All making sense now. Film released in 73, so presumably shot circa 72. Around the time of a great Rs promotion year. In retrospect this scene appears to warning a whole generation to be careful not to take the path of crushed dreams. Ahead of its time. The gold lamé jacket looking like a fcuking Wolves top is a bit of a wind-up though.

Anyone remember a TV film called, I think, eleven against eleven ? It was about a dodgy manager taking bungs etc. I've never seen it available on DVD etc.

That rant in detail.
Poetry.
I've always thought that although funny this rant was a bit contrived for the cameras.
He effectively sacks a player at half-time who from recollection had bit of a shocker, was actually on the terraces that night but I would have been very, very drunk.

Don't knock the suit! Back in the day I thought it so cool, but these days it says more 'eighties game-show host'. Your observations on the imagery are thought-provoking, btw.
But I still can't believe I missed those hoops at the time.
