The Good Companions - The Complete Series DVD   Network

Jan Francis leads a lively cast in Beiderbecke writer Alan Plater's definitive adaptation of J.B. Priestley's celebrated novel. Charting the rollercoaster fortunes of a struggling concert party, Francis co-stars alongside Bryan Pringle, John Stratton, Jo Kendall and Moody and Pegg's Judy Cornwell, with guest appearances by Roy Kinnear, Denis Lawson and Nigel Hawthorne. Priestley's defining work – and one which established him as a national figure – The Good Companions has been a mainstay of English literature since its initial publication in 1929.
