Who watched it? Watched it late last night it was an ok film fair bit of cycling in there, you can see how it was the forerunner to the huge amount of coming of age films made in the eighties.

Slightly clichéd, especially the feelgood ending, but overall a really enjoyable film (especially with the cycling subject matter). One of the better films on TV this Christmas.
Thanks to the OP for bringing this to our attention. I'd never heard of it before and would have missed it in the schedules.
