The Beiderbecke Trilogy, starring James Bolam: £22.98 DVD BFI Films Box Sets Children's DVDs Classic BBC Comedy Documentaries Drama Mr Bongo Films Music DVDs Reviewed DVDs Sport & Leisure World Cinema World Cinema 3 for £20


All three series plus soundtrack CD

The Beiderbecke Trilogy was an extremely enjoyable series from the 1980s written by the late screenwriter Alan Plater. This box set contains all three series: The Beiderbecke Affair, The Beiderbecke Tapes and The Beiderbecke Connection. 

Two unusually normal protagonists feature in these series of detective thrillers, starring James Bolam (The Likely Lads) as Trevor, a laconic woodwork teacher who loves jazz, and divorced English teacher Jill, played by Barbara Flynn. 

The interplay between the two leads is a real joy and this is engaging, quality television.

All three series plus soundtrack CD on a 6-disc set, for just £19.99 plus £2.99 p&p. Please note that the p&p costs are already included in the final price of £22.98.
