Looking for Micky
12 August 2020
Looking for Micky looks a lot like the earlier shows. With the return of Terry's on/off stripper girlfriend Debbie. There is more flesh on display.

However there is more emphasis on Arthur Daley. Terry does not even get involved in a fight.

'Mad' Micky Dixon has escaped from prison and staying with Debbie. Getting involved in too many fights in prison, his sentence kept getting extended. Micky wants a definite release date and plans a publicity campaign.

Terry knew Micky back in his boxing days. Arthur spots an opportunity to make money from the newspapers.

However Chisholm is looking for Micky as a well as a nasty villain called Freddie Baker who used to hire Micky to beat people up.

Terry needs to keep Micky safe while Arthur tries not to get his hands bitten off by the sharks in Fleet St.

Micky is rather dim and naive. Although everyone talks about how hard he can be. Freddie Baker though really comes as a nasty villain and Terry is warned not to upset him.

Surprisingly a lot of comedy comes from Chisholm. He really starts to step out more as a character. A young Bill Nighy plays a slimy journalist. Arthur is no match for him.
