About Happy Go Lucky

About Star One Show: Happy Go Lucky aired on Star One

Lucky and Happy are thick friends who are also partners in crime. Lucky is a thinker and the brighter of the two, and Happy is, well, happier, sportier and by far the more popular one. They came to be friends on a school trip to Ooty, where as usual, Happy had gotten himself into some trouble with the authorities and Lucky, using his over-active grey cells, managed to get him out of it. They've been thick as thieves ever since.

Their Relationship
Lucky, being quiet and reclusive, doesn't have too many friends. Happy on the other hand is quite a likeable and popular chap at school. Lucky quite likes the fact that he has a popular friend, not realizing that Happy in his own way looks up to him and looks to him for guidance.

Happy is largely influenced by popular culture; Will Smith, Eminem et al. Lucky mostly scoffs at his dress sense and his use of hip-hop slang. They both fulfill a unique need in each other, and are therefore bonded, despite being radically different.

Their 'HOOD'
Happy, the sportsman, shoots hoops in the parking area of his building society. It is here that he and Lucky bond, exchange ideas and create mischief. Lucky, prone to over intellectualizing, uses basketball to develop his pop philosophies for life where as Happy's main aim is simply the hoop.
