The Street
Old Flame
E2 Nov 15, 2007 60m
Street resident Eddie (Timothy Spall) is in his taxi when he picks up Bob, who's married to his childhood sweetheart, Pat. Eddie can’t resist seeing his first love again, and accepts Bob’s invitation to a charity event.
Back home, wife Margie (Ger Ryan) agrees to go along, as she doesn’t like the idea of him seeing Pat. However, when showering, Margie discovers a lump in her breast and cancels her evening out.
Oblivious to Margie’s upset, Eddie storms out and drinks the evening away. But in a drunken attempt to impress Pat, he pays way over the odds for a set of signed snooker balls.
The morning after he fails a breathalyser test and loses his licence and his job. All the while, he's ignorant of the terrible secret that is gnawing away at his long-suffering wife.
