The story

An opening pre-credits sequence shows events which led to the conception of both "Lads" during a Second World War air raid. After the opening titles, Bob and Terry, both aged about thirty, are seen playing football with some boys on a patch of rough ground, which leads to Bob having to be rescued from a high roof by the fire brigade. Later, Bob and Terry visit their favourite pub, the Fat Ox, which is about to be demolished, along with the surrounding terraced housing where both used to live.
