Twenty Thousand Streets Under The Sky (HD-DVD) £5.99
Patrick Hamilton’s trilogy is brought to life in this adaptation. A story of unrequited love set against the backdrop of the grimy streets and public houses of 1930s London, revolving around The Midnight Bell, a bar off the Euston Road; it follows the painful pursuit of love from three different perspectives: barman Bob, who yearns for penniless street-walker Jenny; his colleague Ella, torn between the attentions of an older, wealthier man and her secret desire for Bob; and Jenny, forced onto the streets through circumstances and now struggling to keep her head above water. This beautifully observed three-part series captures the milieu who stand at the side of the bar and pour out their passions: unrequited love, ambition and disappointment.
