Written by Alan Plater, this is special!!! Starring James Bolam of Likely Lads fame, this is three series set in Northern England.
Beiderbecke Affair 6x 50 mins, Beiderbecke Tapes 2x90 mins and Beiderbecke Connection 4x50 mins.
It centres around schoolteacher Trevor Chaplin and his love of Jazz musician Bix Beiderbecke that leads him into trouble with the law,assisted by Jill Swinburne played by Barbara Flynn. Alan Plater wrote the Selwyn Froggit sitcom series and there is a production style similarity to that show.
