The Beiderbecke Affair
The Beiderbecke Affair is a 1985 British television series produced for ITV, written by the prolific Alan Plater, whose lengthy credits included the preceding four-part miniseries Get Lost! (1981). Trevor Chaplin teaches woodwork and likes to listen to jazz. Jill Swinburne teaches English and wants to help save the planet. Trevor tries to buy some jazz records but this leads to meeting a 'dazzlingly beautiful platinum blond'. In a similar style to Get Lost!, where Neville Keaton and Judy Threadgold feature in an ensemble cast, The Beiderbecke Affair is intended as a sequel; however, Alun Armstrong was unavailable, sp the premise was reworked. It is the first part of The Beiderbecke Trilogy with the two sequel series being The Beiderbecke Tapes and The Beiderbecke Connection.
