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.

Ah, Big Al! My inspiration in all things involving allotments and other sorts of plotting!

Also, I have to say Alan Plater nailed the world of local politics absolutely. I wish I'd realised that earlier.
