Editorial Reviews

Two wisecracking teachers turn amateur detectives in this delightful six-episode British mystery series from 1985. It doesn't occur to Trevor (James Bolam) that dishy blondes don't usually sell jazz records door-to-door. He orders a set of Bix Beiderbecke LPs but receives the wrong items. While trying to locate the missing music, he and his girlfriend, Jill (Barbara Flynn), stumble upon black market goods in a church basement, secret meetings in a parking lot, and corruption at the highest levels. Several colorful characters enliven their adventures: Big Al (Terence Rigby) and Little Norm (Danny Schiller); an overzealous police officer; an elderly snoop with a dog named Jason; and a town planner with a drawer full of incriminating files. Written by Alan Plater and set in Yorkshire, this quirky British mystery glides along on witty banter, a sly sense of fun, and a soundtrack by award-winning musician Frank Ricotti. From the Studio
