The Beiderbecke Affair (1985)

This six part drama, first broadcast in 1985, centres on the lives of two school teachers in Yorkshire Trevor Chaplin and his girlfriend Jill Swinburne. Their lives seem fairly normal until one day a platinum blonde knocks on Trevor's door she is selling items from a catalogue to raise funds for the local cub's football team.

If you think "CAddyshack" or "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" are the funniest thing on earth, this is not for you. If you love cool jazz and warm humour prepare for a treat.

Foolishly I left the UK to live abroad round about the time this was aired on TV, and so have come to it later than most, via DVD.
