On paper, is sounds like any other British gangster film: “In the hard and gritty streets of London, one man wants to rule all the drugs gangs. This man will need to work his way to the top from a lowly drug dealer to the king of the jungle.” It’s a genre you’d associate with people like Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham, and characters called things like Brick Top and Rocky Goldfingers.
What makes it surprising is that Fall to the Top stars Paul Chuckle – 77-year-old beloved slapstick children’s entertainer from 292 episodes of CBBC’s ChuckleVision between 1987 and 2009 – as The Jackal. No, that’s not a printing error, or someone mucking with Wikipedia.
