Kes (1969)
Directed by: Ken Loach

Genres: Drama
Continuity mistake: In the football game, Brian Glover (Mr Sugden) selects Paget. The other captain selects 'Speed' as his first choice. A few minutes later Speed is berated for failing to pick up a pass from Sugden. Has he changed sides? The best player on the field, who scores Spurs' second goal, is selected almost last. (00:40:10 - 00:42:05)
Trivia: When the boys are in Mr. Gryce's office, the producers hadn't told them beforehand that they were going to get caned. So whatever reactions the boys display are their real reactions. Afterward, the boys ran out crying. The producers paid them each ten bob to shut them up.
Trivia: Bob Bowes, who plays the headmaster, Mr Gryce, was in fact headmaster of Ashton Road Secondary Modern School, Ashton Road, Castleford during the middle to late 1960s.
Mr. Gryce: Mere fodder for the mass media.
