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.
