Outside Bet
Outside Bet is a comedy drama following the journey of seven friends during the Fleet Street print workers' strikes in the 1980s.
It is 1985. Thatcher is in power, Sade is on the radio, and the print workers have gone on strike.
But nothing, not even a scale eight earthquake can put a dampener on a group of close friends that meet every Sunday in their regular South London pub for a pint and free flowing banter of the highest order.
Set against the backdrop of a changing way of life-as Rupert Murdoch moves the printing of his newspapers from Fleet Street to Wapping-this is a tale of seven firm friends, who embark on a unique journey that eventually leads them to gamble all of their savings and redundancy money on a single race.
The film stars a host of British acting talent including Academy Award nominee Bob Hoskins (Mona Lisa, Made in Dagenham) and BAFTA winner Jenny Agutter (An American Werewolf in London, Equus). Also starring are Emily Atack ("The Inbetweeners"), Calum McNab (The Football Factory, The Firm), BAFTA Rising Star award winner Adam Deacon (Anuvahood, Kidulthood), Vincent Regan (Clash of the Titans, 300), Terry Stone (Shank, Rise of the Footsoldier) and Perry Benson (This is England, Somers Town).
Outside Bet is inspired by popular novel The Mumper, written by Mark Baxter and Paolo Hewitt. The film is directed by Sacha Bennett (Bonded by Blood).
