Nik and Pidge

Pidge, 20, has moved out of his Mum's house into one of Nik's many Harpurhey properties.

Pidge is an unemployed chef who has just moved out of his mum’s house for the first time. He’s renting a room in a shared house known locally as a notorious ‘party house’.

Nik owns the house, along with several other properties in the area. Most of his tenants have their rent paid for by the council.

After numerous complaints from neighbours, the police and the council about the noise, Nik decides to issue Pidge with an eviction notice. Pidge refuses to go quietly though and defiantly puts on a raucous house party to celebrate his 21st birthday and stages a ‘dirty protest’.
