Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2020 12:36 pm
Episode three: Man Of Steel. Mark Addy stars in a powerful story that takes on a very contemporary issue: homophobia in sport.
Josh Chambers is 53 years old. He was once a rugby league international, and every injury he sustained over his 20-year career has come back to haunt him. His back throbs, his shoulders ache, his knees creak.
But people love Josh: he’s a local hero, a man of steel.
But his identity is threatened when his ex-wife Carol shows up on his doorstep, demanding he give her £5,000 in 48 hours to repay a debt that her new husband has run up in prison.
Josh, she insists, must sell his international caps - and if he doesn’t, she will expose a secret that he has been hiding all his life…
Jimmy McGovern's hit series returns to BBC One, with five powerful, original 45-minute dramas about compelling characters at a turning point in their lives.
Written by Andy Lynch. Made by LA Productions.
