| The back streets of Peckham were but a playground to Raymond Wild (Oscar) and all he wanted from life was to play snooker, drink beer and marry his childhood sweetheart Stacey, but unfortunately for Oscar he was just one of those characters for whom the twists of fate always have a different agenda.
Close to winning the prestigious Salesman Of The Year competition he is let down by his biggest sales prospect and under pressure races to find another order.
Alas the fickle finger of fate added to his day such joys as traffic jams, learner drivers, accidents and finally a speed camera which ultimately cost him his driving licence, job and patience of Stacey for whom this was the last straw.
Aided and abetted by his snooker chums he set about getting his own back on society by jousting with speed cameras but attracts the ever watchful eye of the dreaded Detective Sergeant Douglas Fowler who would like nothing better than to put this handsome young upstart away behind bars.
Alas Oscar find himself incarcerated but not before he's become the local hero under the self assumed guise as The Peckham Quixote.
After release from prison Oscar's past continues to haunt him as the local champion and fate does her best to grind him down at every turn.
With three rich story lines and highly colourful characters this unique story combines a light touch of humour with sadness and almost a happy ending. |
