TINA AND BOBBY

TINA and Bobby is an epic love story about an ordinary girl who falls for an ordinary boy, only to be swept up in an extraordinary life.

Nineteen-year-old Tina Dean (Michelle Keegan) married Bobby Moore (Lorne MacFadyen) for love, little knowing their marriage would be defined by history.

Tina struggled as a housewife, but Bobby’s star rose as he became England football captain at just 23. When Tina fell pregnant their future looked bright… until Bobby was diagnosed with cancer. Sworn to secrecy, Tina supported Bobby as he fought his way back to fitness – but they clashed when a stand-off with his manager jeopardised his World Cup prospects.

When England won the Cup in July 1966, Bobby became a national hero and Tina was thrown from suburbia into the spotlight as they became football’s golden couple.

But their celebrity lifestyle came at a cost. Bobby was arrested while training for the 1970 World Cup and they were the target of a kidnap threat.

When Bobby’s playing career waned and business decisions left them in debt, cracks started to show in their relationship and Tina faced the biggest battle of all – to save their marriage.

In episode one Tina meets Bobby and it’s love at first sight. She abandons her career to marry him.

When Bobby is diagnosed with testicular cancer, Tina shoulders the burden of his illness alone and proves herself his rock – and the birth of baby Roberta consolidates their bond.

Bobby resumes playing, but he and Tina clash when he puts his World Cup prospects in jeopardy. A contrite Bobby backs down, promising Tina that everything will get back to normal after the tournament…
