Scum: Collectors Edition (2 Discs) £2.99 @ HMV

Scum: 2dvd: Collectors Edition

The original 1977 BBC TV version of Roy Minton's SCUM remains one of the most notorious TV productions ever made. Its brutal depiction of life in a boys' borstal was deemed so uncompromising and controversial that it remained unscreened for 14 years.

Now this TV landmark gets its UK premiere release on DVD in this twin-pack, which also features the equally hard-hitting 1979 cinema version. Both productions share the same director (the brilliantly innovative Alan Clarke) and several cast members, including Ray Winstone as tough-boy Carlin and Phil Daniels as Richards, but nothing quite matches the power and notoriety of the original.
