NETWORK TO RELEASE Network is proud to present the release of British pop legend and icon Adam Faiths Budgie the Complete First Series (12) on 22nd May 2006 as a 4-disc set containing all thirteen episodes from the first series of this classic British drama. Adam Faith (Stardust, Love Hurts, Beat Girl) stars as the down-and-out yet forever optimistic Ronald Budgie Bird. A petty crook that clings like a limpet to the fringes of the bent society in Londons Soho, hes always got one eye on a get-rich quick scam and one eye on the big time. Hes got a wife he never sees, a girlfriend and an illegitimate lovechild hidden away but he bounces on irrepressibly, knowing hes got admirers out there. For one, his girlfriend Hazel admires his cheeky, happy-go-lucky style, and Charlie Endell the Mr Big of Budgies scene admires his never-say-die attitude. But admiration doesnt pay the bills A huge hit on its original release in 1971, Budgie was the first TV hit for Faith, having already conquered the music industry where he spent some twenty years at the top, competing with the likes of Cliff Richard for the publics affections. Budgie is widely recognised as one of the high-points of Faiths multi-faceted career, which included jobs as a financial journalist, stage actor and music mogul. Co-starring alongside Faith are Iain Cuthbertson (Gorillas in the Mist, The Railway Children) and Lynn Dalby (Emmerdale, Crossroads). Budgie the Complete First Series is sure to appeal to all fans of Faiths work as well as those who enjoyed Hazell, Minder, and Shameless.
