"Trevor Chaplin and Jill Swinburne have settled down. Teachers at a run-down school in Leeds, they're new parents to a son they call Firstborn. Trevor (James Bolam, New Tricks) is a jazz fan; Jill (Barbara Flynn, Cracker) wants to save the planet. One day a friend asks a favor: will they look after a refugee? His name is Ivan, but he's not that terrible. Soon Trevor and Jill are harboring Criminals, under police surveillance, and trying to convince the headmaster that their new school supplies aren't stolen goods. The conclusion to award-winning playwright Alan Plater’s Beiderbecke trilogy sees the return of beloved characters: Big Al, Little Norm, Detective Sergeant Hobson (now Detective Inspector Hobson, PhD), and Mr. Pitt, former town planner. The banter is easy and the humor wry in an offbeat adventure set to a jazzy, BAFTA-winning soundtrack."--Container.
