Can anyone help me identify this vine, which is scrambling over a shed. It looks very untidy and I want to find out what it is before I cut it back. I'm hoping someone will say, of course it's a .....
Thank you everyone so far! You're right - it does look like solanum crispum, although I've just tried to find more detailed photos of the leaves and I'm still not completely sure - I think I'll go and see if I can find one in the garden centre to compare! Nutcutlet thanks - yes, this was taken last week in the UK - I'm afraid I don't have any more photos at the moment. This belongs to a family who've recently moved in & don't know any of their plants. I recognized most of them, but this one had me baffled. If it is potato vine, might be an issue as it's poisonous and they have young children.

Looks like Russian vine.
I don't think it's Russian Vine.
Is this a current UK photo? Are we looking at an evergreen plant?
Is there any more information?, does it flower? can I see thorns there?
Another couple of shots might help

Could it be a Potato Vine (solanum crispum)?
I was going to say Solanum too.

The stems look like potato vine to me but wasn't sure about the leaves when I compared them with mine. I think that's the most likely though.
