Football fever hits Poplar as it’s the summer of 1966 and the England team reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Unsurprisingly, local newsagent and football fan Fred Buckle is in particularly high spirits.
‘Fred and Violet have had the shop done up with rosettes, footballs and flags,’ says Cliff Parisi, who plays Fred. ‘They’re very excited about the World Cup.’
