Programme Information

Douglas Henshall has blown it - an out-of-work actor, a stupid fling saw the love of his life Sylvia Weld walk out. Now all he has is the bar where he drowns his sorrows and pours out his woes to barmaid Elizabeth McGovern. But what if time could roll back and he could have a second chance...? An umbrella and some refuse collectors are the unlikely keys in Maria Ripoll's charming comedy-drama that offers him a chance of redemption... or maybe another romance?
