Watch Charlie Bubbles

Charlie Bubbles is a famous writer who lives a life of quiet desperation in this British drama. Although he grew up very poor, he now can afford anything he wants, including an expensive sports car and a relationship with his secretary. He decides to make a visit to his working class roots, where his bitter ex-wife lives on a farm with the couple's 8-year old son. Many of the people he encounters are deeply resentful of his new-found success and wealth, and Charlie spends a lot of his time with a buddy getting drunk.
