People Want to Know Who We Are.... chant the new Lambeth Boys after their annual confrontation on the cricket fields of a north London public school. Twenty-five years separate today's generation of Lambeth Boys from those who starred in the 1959 documentary.
In the 50s, the teenagers at the youth club were white. Nowadays, many are black, and the Lambeth girls are finding their voices.
'All girls are to boys is their oats,' says Trina, in a fierce street argument about sex.
'Some girls, all they want is leg-over!' retorts Gary.
Ian sits outside the club and the talk turns to 'draipsing', local slang for snatching necklace chains from passers-by. 'Since I was 9, the world has just changed every day. A good job would solve it, with lots of money.' Today's generation of Lambeth teenagers have their say about issues that matter to them - street crime, race, truancy, sex, and who pays on a date.
