Cliff Starkey (Paul Kaye), is a rebellious young bowls player, brought up on "the Lynx Estate", with his friend Trevor (Johnny Vegas), and grandfather Mutley (Bernard Cribbins) as a painter and House painter and decorator. He dreams of playing for his country but always preferring to play by his own rules, was always disapproved by the local Torquay bowls club. He learns of Australian brothers (Carl and Mark Doohan) future tour of England, and plans to get selected for the national team. Starkey would play through the tournament undefeated, defeating veteran player (and thirteen times champion) Ray Speight (James Cromwell). After winning the competition, and becoming eligible to play for England, Speight, the head of the local lawn bowls association, bans Starkey for fifteen years for writing an expletive on an opponent's scorecard. Angry about the ban, Starkey gatecrashes the celebration party for Speight, who was declared champion; launching a glossary of bowls terms#Wood across the dinner table at Speight.
