Overtaken

Alexei Sayle

Kelvin is a 33-year-old property developer living in a small Lancashire town.

He has five close friends all in well-paid jobs. Having bought their lovely houses cheaply in the early 1990s they are free to spend money on their own pleasures - particularly clothes meals and cars. Most of all their life revolves around going to see things - art exhibitions comedians live music plays...

When we first meet the six friends they are on their way to see a new kind of circus. Once there Kelvin does something unforgivable to a clown has a strange snack and meets the most beautiful girl he has ever seen.

It's the beginning of the end of the good life.
