Respect is a single British television drama film, written by Richard LaPlante and directed by Terry Marcel, that first broadcast on 17 December 1996 on ITV. [1] The film stars Nick Berry as Bobby Carr and is based on the early years in the life of notorious East London villain Ray Barton, a professional boxer who is forced to retire from the sport after receiving a serious eye injury during a fight. He attempts to make money through a nightclub scam, but his illegal activities are soon discovered and he is sentenced to community service, where he is forced to teach boxing to teenagers at a local youth club. Scripts for a follow-up to the film were blocked after lengthy court proceedings during which Barton's lawyers also ordered the original film be withdrawn from public sale.
