Meet Les Green. Head of the most potent pigeon racing team in the
UK - known in pigeon racing circles as 'The Mafia'. A
sharp-tongued, quick-witted ex-gang member from Salford who now
devotes his life to breeding and racing pigeons that are as swift
and consistent as the expletives that fly from his own foul mouth.
The RPRA (Royal Pigeon Racing Association) - an organization filled
with ex brigadiers - sees Les and his lads as a bunch of Northern
upstarts out to make trouble. Given the chance, and if they weren't
so damn good, the RPRA would ban them from competing. This conflict
forms the backdrop as we follow Les from his legendary coop in
North Manchester to the National Pigeon Racing convention in
Blackpool; on to the $250,000 Las Vegas classic; and finally to
take part in the ultimate pigeon race - the $1 million bonanza in
Sun City, South Africa. A Very British Coop is the story of Les and
his team trying to defy the odds and drag pigeon racing into the
21st century, meanwhile pursuing the ultimate feathered flying
prize. It is also the first insight into a global pursuit which
blurs hobby and sport, sees pigeons flown first-class round the
world before changing hands for over $100,000, and where grown men
will stop at nothing to see their bird flying into sight first.
