Eleven-year-old Will Brennan (Eggelton) is the world’s biggest Liverpool football fan. At his boys’ school in southern England, Will’s love and knowledge of the sport is all that sustains him. Then out of nowhere appears Will’s absentee father, Gareth (Lewis), and with two tickets to the biggest match of the year: the Champions League Final in Istanbul.

But before the two can begin their journey, Gareth dies suddenly. Determined to make the trip and honour his father’s dream, Will runs away. En route, he encounters Alek (Kristian Kiehling), a former Yugoslavian football star who abandoned the game during his country’s civil war. Despite his initial reluctance to help, Alek finds himself inspired by Will’s heroic journey and helps him fulfil his dream.

In Helen’s interview in the Guardian, she talks a little bit about married life:

She met her husband, the actor Damian Lewis, on the set of Five Gold Rings at London’s Almeida in 2003. Since then, life has been on fast-forward. “People talk about settling down; there’s nothing settling down about it, love. We’ve moved country three times, we’ve sold two houses, bought a house, done about seven films, a series, four plays, had two kids. I’d just like the dust to settle.”

The Times Online has a nice little interview with Damian Lewis:

I used to be a bit of a party animal. These days I can’t go out relentlessly and be a father as well. I have two children, aged 3 and 2, so instead I tend to do silly dad things such as going on 150-mile bike rides with my friends just to prove that we can do it. We did a ride in the Cambrian Mountains and Brecon Beacons over three days at Easter out of a sense of adventure, but we’ve all been in physiotherapy ever since.

Thanks to June for her report on the Josephine Hart Poetry Hour on May 17th. She says, “The most striking thing for me was the contrast between Damian and Jeremy Irons, Damian beautifully dressed in a plum coloured jersey (gorgeous with his hair) over a white shirt and light grey trousers, and totally exqisite plain black shoes - how can one rapsodise over a pair of men’s shoes? - Irons flamboyant in fancy leather jacket and huge laced up boots.” Click here at the Yahoo! Group for the post.
