Passer By (TV)

Joe Keyes (James Nesbitt) is a radiographer at a top London hospital. At the end of another working day, he catches the train home. On his journey, he encounters two strangers, Ruddock (Bryan Dick) and Tinley (Joe Armstrong) who appear to have had too much to drink and are hassling a young woman named Alice (Emily Bruni). When his stop arrives, Joe convinces himself that they are just being a little drunk and merry, even though he is sub consciously aware this could very well not be the case, and gets off. The next day, he returns to the train station and learns that a young woman was raped the other night and that police are now appealing for witnesses. Wracked with guilt with the repercussions of his cowardly actions, Joe finds his home life falling apart with relationships being tested with his wife Helen (Siobhan Finneran) and young son Reece who is suffering at the hands of school bullies.
