RIP Alan Plater. I'll never think of Leeds without thinking of The Beiderbecke Affair. A Very British Coup may have been more gripping, but for me it's the whimsical W. Yorks thriller every time. After all, how can you not like a series that brought the world Big Al and Little Norm, and the Alderman What's-His-Name playing fields?

Barbara Flynn and James Bolam also help, obviously.

We watched Trinity Tales in the mid-70s. My family still sing "everybody back to the bus".

Now I'd love to find a recording of Trinity Tales, if such a thing exists!

RIP Alan, I will dig out my Beiderbecke DVD later tonight by way of honour.

This is the best I could find. I am saving it for Sunday.
