The Hope and the Glory

Sam, a quiet West Indian working as a London Transport ticket collector, strikes up an unlikely, but warm, friendship with Joe, an old man who has a room in the same house.

Sam is a quiet West Indian, working as a ticket collector for London Transport. Constantly urged by his humorous workmate Muriel to go out and enjoy himself, he prefers to spend his lonely evenings studying law.

Until he meets Joe, an old man who has a room in the same house. The two strike up an unlikely, but warm, friendship and set out on a Saturday night to enjoy themselves in a local club.

But their enjoyment is interrupted.
