Starring Bryan Dick, Sally Hawkins, Zoe Tapper and Phil Davis; Patrick Hamilton\'s trilogy of working class London life in the 1930s is captured movingly in this beautifully observed and faithful adaptation. In a world of smoky pubs and foggy lamplights, down-at-heel workers and forlorn lovers, the story focuses on The Midnight Bell, a bar off the Euston Road, and observes the impossibility of love between three protagonists. Bob, the pub\'s barman, is infatuated with penniless prostitute Jenny, believing that he can rescue her through his rapidly diminishing savings. Barmaid Ella, while attracting the attentions of an older, wealthier man, casts lovelorn glances at her colleague. Meanwhile, Jenny, forced onto the streets through poverty, has little time for such niceties, as she casts her flirtatious eyes about in search of custom.
