streak of luck

Mark Charnock, who has played Marlon Dingle in Emmerdale for 27 years, described working on the show as a "very long streak of luck" and the 350-strong staff team as "like a family".

The streak of luck felt impossible.

“Despite his constant sabotage, both of himself and of the country, Caine had enjoyed an unbroken streak of luck,” Pitoniak writes.

For many this development marked what Shakespeare would have called a turning of the wheel, that moment in drama when a villain’s streak of luck runs out and the light of justice peeks out from behind pitch-black clouds.

“It was just a streak of luck that he’ll be able to pick up the butter knife this year; he is an excellent sculptor,” said Ms. Christensen, who acknowledged she was sad she would not be able to resume her work.
