On one of his daily escapes, he comes across Pete, Will Rastall, who is completing community service nearby, and the two form a friendship. Luke morns both the loss of his mother and his independence, running rings round his appointed helper Eve, Shana Swash (Eastenders (TV), Dignity (Short)). One day however, Luke’s world is turned upside down when his mother doesn’t wake up in the morning and, subject to her wishes prior to becoming ill, he finds himself in a home for people with learning difficulties. Look enjoys this, as well as the things he finds on his daily jaunts to the local shops, items which he stores in his tin of curiosities. He is very high functioning and lives at home with his elderly mother who he looks after, cooking her meals, bathing her and ensuring she takes her medicine. Steven Brandon plays Luke who has Down’s Syndrome.
