Jamie Johnson (TV series)

Jamie has to start at a new school mid-term. With his amazing football talent, Jamie should have no problem fitting in with the cool kids. But new friend, Jack, is disgusted when she witnesses Jamie being cruel to the geeky Boggy. Jamie eventually makes amends, but in the process makes a serious enemy in school bully Dillon. When the horrified Jamie witnesses his mother getting close to a colleague, it makes him all the more determined to track down his dad.

Jamie is about to give up when Boggy comes up with a clever plan using a bit of lateral thinking. Jack is horrified when a distracted and frustrated Jamie messes up his chances of making the school football team, but could Jamie’s bad behaviour present her with a real opportunity? When Jamie is given an unexpected lead he takes drastic measures to hunt down his dad - with devastating consequences.

Reeling from the revelation that his dad has another family, Jamie eventually finds his way home to face the music and is forced to admit to Mike that he stole his money. Jack and Boggy try to help Jamie deal with Hansard, while Jack persuades Jamie that an apology would help and Boggy uses his guile to cement Jamie’s second chance.

But all this attention goes to Jamie’s head when he forces the team to let him take a penalty and then misses it when he dares to do a Panenka.
