After a bright opening episode this one was certainly of its time with some of the language used.
At least the fruit machine that Budgie stole in the previous episode is still about.
It looks like Charlie Endell might overlook the matter that Budgie let his 15 year old stripper wander off.
Budgie can have a flat in Soho rent free for a few weeks. He just needs to sign a lease agreement even though Budgie just wanted to rest his head for a few weeks. Nothing comes for free with Charlie though.
All Budgie needs to do is mind four illegal immigrants. A favour Charlie is doing for a travel agent in Bradford.
Now Budgie has to keep his four foreign guests hidden from the authorities and Hazel is taking him to court for maintenance payments for their baby.
It looks like the illegal immigrants are the least of his problems and they were just a distraction from Charlie Endell. The house where he is staying is also a knocking shop and the police have been watching.
I was bemused that Budgie did not realise that he was living in a flat that was also a house of ill repute. He also did not read the lease he signed as he actually leased several flats in the same building. You would think Budgie would have had the measure of Charlie Endell.
There are signs here that despite the comic moments, there is a dark side to the series. You see it when the immigrants are picked up by the police. Whatever their dreams were, they came to nought. It looks like Budgie is not going to be the only loser.
