Beiderbecke Affair, The (TV Series)

Aroview: Character-centric Brit TV series that was the first in the 'Beiderbecke Trilogy' following a couple of Leed's teachers ensconced in a laid-back relationship who uncover despicable happenings in their own backyard.

This gentle paced mystery drama indulges in fantastic locations and subtle subtext throughout while being nudged along by a catchy jazz score utilised as a means of filler and emphasis of key moments. A timeless series to be leisurely appreciated and enjoyed.

Also available: The Beiderbecke Tapes (1987), The Beiderbecke Connection (1988), and the related series, Alan Plater's Get Lost! (1981).
