The Weather in the Streets

Living a faintly bohemian life in 1930s London, Olivia meets Rollo again - and they embark on a secret affair. Stars Eve Best.

Olivia - whose rite of passage into adulthood was just revealed in 4 Extra's ‘Invitation to the Waltz’ - is now living a faintly bohemian life in London in the early 1930s.

When she meets up again with Rollo, the handsome and unhappily married son of Lord and Lady Spencer, she falls prey once more to his charm and confidence.
