Season 3
Season 3 of The Street sees the return of the acclaimed drama from Jimmy McGovern in which six stories are told from the point of view of neighbours all living on the same street in Manchester.
Each episode stands alone as we get to know the street's residents one by one. The Street takes us behind closed doors to reveal a community brimming with deceit, anger, frustration, friendship, love and redemption.
Each of the six compelling stories boasts some of Britain's finest film, television and stage actors including Timothy Spall, Bob Hoskins, Ruth Jones and Anna Friel, who take us on a series of bittersweet journeys of everyday pain, suffering and hope.
The season starts with reformed alcoholic landlord Paddy Gargan, who after barring the son of local gangster Thomas Miller finds himself in deep water as he is given an ultimatum.
Either he serves him and his son the next day or he will face the wrath of the Millers.
The Street explores the day-to-day encounters of society and exposes and exaggerates what would normally be issues that most of us would simply sweep under the carpet.
The series presents masterful storytelling, authentic emotions and characters that we can all relate to at some point in our lives.
