The growing pains of disadvantaged young Londoners continue to fascinate writer and actor Noel Clarke.

He caused a stir in 2006 when he wrote and starred in Kidulthood, a gritty portrayal of life on the streets of his native west London.

Clarke picks up where the movie left off in the new sequel Adulthood, which follows the fortunes of his character Sam after he is released from prison for murder.
