- Synopsis:
It's been 22 years since the public was first hooked on 'The Beiderbecke Affair' - the first instalment in what was to become Alan Plater's award winning trilogy of comedy-thrillers starring James Bolam and Barbara Flynn. They play Trevor Chaplin and Jill Swinburne, two reluctant teachers drawn into a web of intrigue when Trevor is paid a mysterious visit by a dazzlingly beautiful platinum blonde. Since that moment 'The Beiderbecke Trilogy' has held its position as one of the nation's favourite television shows, with its easy-going plots, dryly humorous dialogue, deftly-drawn characters and superb Jazz score by Frank Ricotti and legendary trumpeter Kenny Baker.
