Episode Six: Butch & Sundance
BBC TWO, 7 February 2005, 9.30pm
In this episode...
Under pressure from the landlord to come up with the rent money, Art resorts to increasingly desperate measures to raise the cash.
An attempt to defraud the bank incurs the wrath of a super-posse of postmen. Art and Jones run for the hills on their bicycles. The landlord also gives chase. The boys seek refuge in the cinema.
With nowhere left to hide, Art tries to persuade Jones to start a new life together on the Isle of Man. Legend has it the Film Commission over there just gives money away to independent low-budget filmmakers.
Jones is tempted, but refuses to leave Beth behind. So they take her with them. But all they find on the Isle of Man is disappointment. They have no choice but to return to their old ways.
Will they find the rent money before the landlord finds them?
