Ger Ryan would only be known vaguely in Ireland but she is great.. I have seen her in "The Commitments", "the family" (6 week irish drama follow a woman who is abused by her husband" and a play I had to do for my leaving Certificate (like A-levels), that is how I met her, after the play.. she is a really nice person

I asked my mum but she werent much help. The daughter was just like her northern lights aharacter.

The same people tend to do the same roles in different dramas.

there a girl i know who has done a few tv roles and her part is always the upper class stroppy teenager.

i do not know what exactly its is but im not too keen on this drama - i think the stories are probably told to quickly and think it rather strange they have a new story every week instead of carrying them on! anyone else fel the same?
14-05-2006, 19:16
Katy

i like having one story each week, i find its easier to follow and you see the characters appear in different episodes even though they are not the focus. I also think the storys were really quite believable and they managed to make good drama a little humourous to. Thats only my personal opinion though.

Spoiler:

Yeah, It was just after Sean beat up the refugee adn he severly beat and raped yvonne.. when she went to make a complaint the police kind treated it as a joke so her sister and boyfriend changed the locks and Yvonne told Sean she could only see the kids twice a week.. Sean and her mother got into a row and the mother said that he would be in the ground before her...

One night Sean complete drunk, came round to the house calling yvonne sisters boyfriend a pervert and the mother was on her way over.. Sean went to attack the mother when they all come out.. he hit yvonne and beat her sisters boyfriend to a pulp.. the ambulance came but it was for the mother, she had a heart attack and died.. Yvonne met Sean in the street 2 days later and said what the mother had said.. he would be in the ground before her mum.. Yvonne and her sister battered him to death and as her mothers coffin is been lowered into the ground, you can see Sean shoe poking out.. she was right, he was in the ground before her mum!!!

The Street, Jimmy McGovern's powerful, multi-award-winning drama, returns to BBC One for an eagerly anticipated third series.

The show won British TV's top industry awards for two consecutive years, picking up both the 2007 and 2008 BAFTA and Royal Television Society Awards for best drama series, as well as international Emmys.

As with the first two series, McGovern has mentored up-and-coming writers to create uncompromising potent stories about people who live on the same street in the North West of England.

The cast list boasts Timothy Spall, reprising again his memorable role as the lovable Eddie. The high-calibre line-up also features: Bob Hoskins, Frances Barber, Anna Friel, Daniel Mays, Jonas Armstrong, Joseph Mawle, Stephen Graham and Ruth Jones.

Actor Bob Hoskins has had to do his own stunts after BBC programme makers organised a stuntman who was a foot taller than him.

Hoskins, who is just 5ft 6in, said: "I wound up doing my own stunts because, when the stuntman turned up, he was 6ft 6in.

"I know how to act - it's getting bashed up that's not such fun."

Hoskins, whose hit films include Who Framed Roger Rabbit, was filming a one-off performance for BBC drama The Street.

The 66-year-old actor plays a pub landlord who gets involved in a brawl with a local gangster during the episode, which will be screened on July 13.

The show will also feature actress Frances Barber, 51, as his wife.

"Frances and I have been wanting to work together for years, and now we finally have the opportunity," said a delighted Hoskins.

Yet again The Street turned out a fantastic episode.. I urge anyone to watch this (even if you haven't seen series 1 or 2).. The genius about this show is that you can pick any episode and not have to know what has gone on before... I evokes so many different emotion over the hour.. one minute you could be crying, next laughing so hard.. I love this drama... :clap::clap::clap: to Bob Hoskins for his performance last night

He said (and I love this quote) "if you treat your son like a tart, I will serve him like a tart"

From Digital Spy:

BBC One's award-winning drama The Street will not return for a fourth series, show creator Jimmy McGovern has announced.

The scriptwriter told Radio 4 that the decision is due to cutbacks at ITV Studios in Manchester, where the acclaimed programme was filmed.

"It's finished now because ITV have closed down that drama unit," McGovern explained. "I am sure that's why Michael Grade left - because it was a content-led revival, he said, and they have closed down the producers of the best content."

On the possibility of recruiting another producer for the drama, he insisted: "I wouldn't want to - it belonged [at ITV Studios]. All the people have gone. You live and breathe with people, you walk into busy rooms and see people working hard - the casting, the make up, the wardrobe, even the receptionists - and the next minute they are all gone.

"It's so sad - one of the best dramas ITV has ever made and it's gone."

The Street's third series launched last night with an episode starring Bob Hoskins and Frances Barber, which attracted 5 million viewers.

A BBC spokeswoman told The Guardian: "This is a decision Jimmy McGovern has taken as a result of recent changes at Granada. We respect that decision and we are currently in talks with him about future developments."

Thanks I guess he had to make some comment about him being a woose or something since Paddy' son said earlier that he could have him, but my darn sister phone me and I missed what was said.

The Street 3 August 09

Monday 3 August
9.00-10.00pm BBC ONE

Spoiler:

Bigoted and cantankerous head chef Kieran Corrigan has had enough of foreign workers flooding into this country, as Jimmy McGovern's powerful, award-winning drama continues.

Kieran is a lonely man. Raised by his war hero grandfather, he blames the Polish community for his grandad's missed chance to be a Manchester City footballer. In the kitchen where he works, Kieran's is the only white face. When Kieran goes on a blind date with Maria, a woman he deals with on the phone every day at work, he can't conceal his disappointment upon discovering that she is black.

Kieran's best mate, Duffy, has never done a day's work in his life and is permanently on invalidity benefit. After a drinking session in the pub one night, Kieran and Duffy approach a burning building. A little Polish girl, Anna, is screaming at the window for help. Staring up at the girl's terrified face, Kieran is frozen to the spot with fear and does nothing, while Duffy charges past him into the burning house and rescues the girl from one of the upper floors. Handing the child to Kieran, Duffy tells him: "You did this, I'm on invalidity."

Kieran fast becomes a local hero with his picture in the paper, free drinks at the pub, adulation from women, applause from his colleagues and, most importantly, much gratitude from the child's mother, Olenka.

Because of the fire, Olenka is homeless and destitute and Kieran valiantly offers her a roof over her head. Then things really start to get complicated...
