Strong violence, drug references and coarse language

Actors: Ashley Walters, Kane Robinson, Sharon Duncan Brewster, Geoff Bell

Set in the fictitious Summerhouse Estate, Top Boy is an honest and gripping rendition of inner-city urban drug and gang culture in East London.

Thirteen-year-old Ra'Nell is left alone after his mentally ill mother Lisa is suddenly hospitalised. At the same time, his mum's friend, Heather, pregnant and penniless, enlists Ra'Nell's help in a dangerous plan she has concocted to give her baby the chances she never had. Meanwhile, Dushane runs a thriving drug business with his friend Sully and makes a deal with drug barron, Bobby Raikes, in hope of becoming top boy at Summerhouse.

Very real social/crime drama set around a London council estate, that follows the life of a young boy whose mother has to go into a psychiatric hospital. Great tension and music score. Full marks.
