Patrick Hamilton's bestselling trilogy revolves around The Midnight Bell, a pub off the Euston Road. It follows the painful pursuit of love from three different perspectives - Bob, who yearns for penniless street-walker Jenny; Ella, torn between the attentions of an older, wealthier man and her secret desire for Bob; and Jenny, forced onto the streets. This beautifully observed series captures all their emotions - unrequited love, ambition and disappointment.
