Spivs

BBC Four
on BBC Four

From Flash Harry in St
Trinian's to Private Walker in Dad's Army, images of the spiv permeate postwar British culture. To some, they were resourceful entrepreneurs; to others, ruthless criminals. This film traces their rise and fall, and explores our ambiguous attitudes to the original dodgy dealers.
