Patrick Hamilton's classic trilogy, Twenty Thousands Streets Under the Sky is brought to life in this BBC TV adaptation.
This is 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.
Patrick Hamilton was also responsible for both the haunting Gaslight and the atmospheric Hangover Square, and Twenty Thousand Streets, written in 1935, was his semi-autobiographical trilogy.
Synopsis
This is a story of unrequited love, passion, ambition and disappointment, set in 1930s London, revolving around The Midnight Bell, a bar off the Euston Road. The three part mini- series follows the lives of three different people with three different backgrounds but all connected by love. First there is the barman Bob, who hankers after Jenny, a penniless girl who has been forced out of her home. Then there is his colleague, Ella who is flattered by the love of a mature gentleman but also is in love with Bob. And finally there is Jenny...
