Scully Season 1: Episode Guide & Ratings

Francis 'Franny' Scully dreams of playing at Anfield but his immediate concern is how to avoid being conscripted into starring in the school pantomime. His best friend Mooey doesn't help the situation either.

While playing football with Mooey, Scully spots Dalglish again. The boys steal saplings from the park and try to sell them on the estate, narrowly avoiding being caught red-handed by policeman Isiah.

Scully fancies Joanna but Mooey interferes when Scully tries to get to know her better. It's not helped by Marie Morgan, who fancies Scully and tries to fix a date with him. At school his classmates torture a relief teacher who jumps out of the window and Scully follows to avoid the panto.

It's a Friday night out - the boys are banned from the disco by the vicar and end up in the local cop shop for a while. It's a wet night but, bored, they try to play football until it ends up in Cracker's garden and she dashes out and confiscates it.

Scully's teacher wants to do a deal - he'll arrange a football trial if Scully agrees to act in the school pantomime. The boys decide to get their balls back from Cracker's house and they find them in the bathroom. Scully imagines he sees Dalglish again.

It's the moment Marie Morgan's been waiting for - her night out with Scully! He's annoyed when Steve tells him he's managed to get a trial with Liverpool but things go further downhill when he's taunted about his date and is then given the part of Fairy Godmother in the panto.

Scully dreams about becoming Footballer of the Year and is in a daydream at school until Steve takes him for his trial at Liverpool. Scully's dreams are shattered by, amongst other things, his failure at the football trial and his mother's association with "Dracula", the school caretaker.
