ComedyDrama
Charlie returns to the East End after two years at sea to find his house demolished and wife Maggie gone. Everyone else knows she is now shacked up with married bus driver Bert and a toddler, and they all watch with more than a little interest at the trail of mayhem Charlie leaves as he goes about sorting things out.
VIBE
A raw, unflinching look at working-class London life. It feels like eavesdropping on messy, heartbreaking truths with a wry, observational distance. The characters are lived-in, their struggles palpable.
