Teenage Mocktailers


The Country Yokel is a pub and a nightclub but its enterprising owner John Bartlett is turning it into a youth club or rather a pubic house run by and for under 18s. The optics offer a range of soft drinks and teenagers mumble their approval to camera. News reporter Mike Whitmarsh takes up the unenviable task of registering teenage enthusiasm onto celluloid for the good folks watching at home. An identity card system helps to discourage gatecrashers and undesirables.
