AJ is hoping to divert boys away from crime by encouraging them to do sports, and, though initially dismissive of Leo as a white intruder, comes to respect him after he has saved the life of Errol, a former gang member now anxious to keep his little brother Levi out of trouble. Errol has been stabbed in the leg by members of a gang from a rival estate and Leo stops him from bleeding to death. Earlier in the week a young girl called Shana Block was stabbed to death at a funfair and her murder recorded on a mobile phone.

Depressingly realistic dramatisation of youth gangs in south London.

This is a very hard hitting episode which stays with you, admittedly the way they contrive Leo's involvement in the scenario is a little far fetched, but the remainder of the story is harrowing, but relevant today, particularly in light of today's news that murder figures have increased significantly, scary. It has a grim realism, and shows how life is for people trapped in gangs.

Well acted, well produced, it's a very strong story for Leo, the whole Doctor Lion things adds a bit of humour to what is overall a bleak story. Good early work also for the excellent Daniel Kaluuya.

Tough watch, but it is an excellent opener. 9/10
