The Street - Season 2 Episode 5 The Letter
For postman Wayne (Mark Benton), life on the street has been less than kind recently: Wife Val left him, taking with her their two sons and the dog; his back’s deteriorating which makes his postal round harder by the day, and he’s got no money.
A potentially good night out speed-dating is ruined when Wayne takes a shine to Rachel, who is crippled by a stammer which Wayne seems incapable of being sympathetic about.
Now at his lowest ebb, Wayne thinks that his problems could be solved if only he could have a new start, somewhere nice and hot, like Greece.
With a new found determination Wayne adopts a new approach to his work. He opens the mail that’s addressed to the wealthier parts of the neighbourhood and removes any cash, before delivering the rest.
But 15 year-old illiterate truant, Damien, has been watching Wayne closely and confronts him. Can Wayne persuade him to keep his secret?
