Quotes
[Good boy Chris meets up with The Deptford Dodger, a young runaway, who tells him he's only trying to reunite with his Dad, shown in a photograph in front of their old house]
Chris Barker: There's thousands of houses like that. And I'll tell you one thing: you can't walk around lookin' for it any more.
Keith Lawson: Why not?
Chris Barker: Half Deptford's on the lookout for you now, and P.C. Dickey's on the warpath. You'll have to keep off the streets.
Keith Lawson: I'm not scared. I can run rings 'round a dozen coppers.
Chris Barker: Oh, have a bit of sense. Stay here 'til I get back.
Keith Lawson: What are you gonna do, then?
Chris Barker: I'm gonna try and help you find your Dad.
Keith Lawson: Why?
Chris Barker: I dunno. Reckon I need my brains tested.

Crazy credits
The opening titles and credits were written on various corrugated iron fence panels that Keith ("The Deptford Dodger") runs past as he is chased by a milkman, a baker and a greengrocer.
