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 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.
Jess Oakroyd, discontented with his home, his work and his football team, tears up his Insurance Card and disappears into the night. He intends to go to Nuneaton, but instead finds himself on the ragged edges of show business. We share with him the trials and tribulations of the Good Companions as they tour seaside towns, industrial cities and rural backwaters in their search for success and stardom.

It is sweet. It's like all Alan Plater scripts it accumulates emotional impact as it goes on, while immersing you in a real Northern world. Loved it.

I think using the term "definitive adaptation" is an insult to the TRUE "definitive adaptation" from 1933 staring Jessie Matthews and John Gielgud!!
