 | | Still the most notorious project in his native country, Clarke's Scum began life as a 1977 BBC film starring a young Ray Winstone as Carlin, a boy shipped off to a youth prison where the warden and his lackeys show no interest in reforming their charges. |
 | | In either form, Scum is one of the strongest "youth in prison" films and would make a solid co-feature with the earlier Born Innocent and the later Bad Boys, to cite just two obvious examples. |
 | | The BBC Scum features commentary with Daniels, actor David Threlfall, and producer Margaret Matheson, as well as a separate discussion with Winstone, covering the technical and creative genesis of the film as well as the complex fate it encountered with the BBC. |
