"It doesn't occur to Trevor (James Bolam, New Tricks) that dishy blondes don't usually sell jazz records door-to-door. He orders a set of Bix Beiderbecke LPs but receives the wrong times. While trying to locate the missing music, he and his girlfriend, Jim (Barbara Flynn, Cracker), 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 and Little Norm, 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 (Oliver's Travels) 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. 'Bolam and Flynn play the latter-day Nick and Nora Charles with relish' - The Courier-Mail"--Container.
