Clips from this Children's Film Foundation movie is regularly used in shows that look back at Dennis Waterman's career.
A young Dennis Waterman plays Jimpy whose gang builds speedy Go Kart out of a lawnmower and some junk they have brought from a scrapyard owned by Wilfrid Brambell.
Their rival is the slightly older Harry Haggerty (Frazer Hines) who recognises that his go kart is no match when it comes to the need for speed.
So Harry's gang indulges in a spot of sabotage as well as shunting any one who dares pass him off the track.
A simple story with lots of hijinks. The go kart goes on the loose on the village streets causing chaos.
The main stars are the two child actors, Waterman and Hines who would sustain a long television career.
A fun family movie, a bit simplistic and moralistic but it still stands up well today.
