BIG DEAL - 1980s gambling drama on BBC

Was a big fan. All those old massive £50 notes on the table!

Robbie Box was also Mr Ben!

The notes are awesome!

I am onto show 4 now.  He wants to go 'straight' and get into the real world after punting for 20 years.  Why does he have to repay 20 years of income tax and NI?  Badly written storyline or was that the law back then?  Surely gambling winnings were never taxed?

Ferret was the old boy if i remember correctly ?

[Simon Galloway]
