Citizen Smith starred Robert Lindsay as "Wolfie" Smith, a young Marxist urban revolutionary living in Tooting, a South London suburb. Wolfie is the self-proclaimed leader of the Tooting Popular Front (in reality a small bunch of his friends) the goals of which are "Power to the People" and "Freedom for Tooting".
Citizen Smith ran for four series between 1977 and 1980. The addition of a pilot episode and a Christmas special made for a total of thirty episodes.
