Jack Rosenthal's prime-time firefighting drama series returns to DVD.
Life's a bitch And then it goes to penalties... Life was sweet for Lee Vaughan: money respect sex and . . . football. Ah yes The Beautiful Game - well at least the version played by The Fox and Hounds Chapel Allerton. Lee was the top scorer in 1992. But not a single goal in '93. Glaucoma. It struck him down. Within two years he was totally blind. His only glory from memories. But memories don't satisfy the need for a 'damn good kickabout.' Into Lee's life comes one Charlie Howard. His life is a mess - he kind of likes it that way. Twenty years ago he saw 'Get Carter' and left the USA for the UK. And there he meets a blind man yearning to play this thing they call soccer. Charlie is bored. Charlie is looking for a craic. Looks like he's found one.
Jason Flemyng and Kirsty Mitchell star in this funny and thought provoking story of the conflict between love and the realisation of a dream the power of money and position and what happens when we turn our backs on everything that is familiar.
