Lads Im trying to find out the name of a film that I seen on bbc years ago. It was I think an educational movie about heroin. Ive searched everywhere to try and find the name of this film.

Here are somethings I remember about it:

Its english.

I think it was made in the mid 80s.

Its based around 4 adolesnse ,2 of which were lured into taking heroin by the others as they thought looked up to them.

There are two do gooders that try to stop the influeced girl to stop, ironically it was them that brought her to the party where she was introduced to heroin

They attempt to give up heroin numerous times but fail leading them to go to the country far from the temptations of the city

It had a one word title ( I think).

One of the girls has a baby but remains taking heroin to the disgust of her freinds

I know i havnt to much info there but I you throw out some names I will remember the name as soon as I read it.

I think this might be Needle from 1990.



The IMDB entry doesn't give much information, but the BFI one gives a bit more.



There's also a little bit about it here along with a picture of the two leads.

yes this is it do you know where I could see this?

youve also by mistake directed me to the grass arena a book which I read, recommended by my father. Have you seen it by any chance?

Sorry, I don't know where you could see Needle, or The Grass Arena, I'm afraid.



I can often find the names of films/TV series through web research, but I'm no expert in actually tracking down copies.



Others on this board are much more talented in that direction.

Wow - To me this is exactly the same as the 1999 tv film 'junk' starring David Mallinson and Anita Dobson. Ill always remember this because of the Baby scene at the end of the film.
