Plot:
This gripping six part drama, marks the return of award winning writer Jimmy McGovern to the small screen, delving into the extraordinary lives of ordinary people at momentous points in their lives.
With an all star cast, including Oscar winning Jim Broadbent (The Chronicles of Narnia and Moulin Rouge) Jane Horrocks (Little Voice), Timothy Spall (Harry Potter) and Sue Johnston (Waking the Dead), the series explores the powerful passions, emotions and disappointments of life.

Written so that each episode is a unique and independent portrayal whilst remaining linked by the sense of community, shared experience and an indomitable sense of humour, The Street indulges in unconventional love stories from the back streets of a city up north.

This series was recommended here in this forum. I can see that it is a good series, but it just never really caught my interest. I still haven't finished watching it yet. I have seen the first two episodes so far.
