Eureka Street

EUREKA STREET is a story of Belfast in the six months just before and after the latest ceasefires. It is the story of Chuckie Lurgan, fat, Protestant and poor, who suddenly becomes very wealthy by various legal but immoral means; and of Jake Jackson, Catholic, reformed tough guy, who has been abandoned by his English girlfriend and is looking for love. Meanwhile the strange letters OTG start appearing on walls and paving stones throught the city. Now a major four-part drama for BBC TWO to be screened at the end of August 1999, starring Vincent Regan, Mark Benton, Marie Jones, Dervla Kirwan and Sorcha Cusack.
