'''''The Beiderbecke Affair''''' is a [[television]] series produced in the United Kingdom by [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] during 1985,<ref name="Seely">{{cite web |last1=Seely |first1=Michael |title=All That Jazz: The Beiderbecke Trilogy » We Are Cult |url=http://wearecult.rocks/the-beiderbecke-trilogy |website=We Are Cult |publisher=We Are Cult |accessdate=9 August 2019 |date=27 November 2018}}</ref> written by the prolific [[Alan Plater]], whose lengthy credits in British television since the 1960s included the four-part mini series ''[[Get Lost!]]'' for ITV in 1981. ''The Beiderbecke Affair'' has a similar style to ''Get Lost!'', wherein Neville Keaton ([[Alun Armstrong]]) and Judy Threadgold ([[Bridget Turner]]) played in an ensemble cast. Although ''The Beiderbecke Affair'' was intended as a sequel to ''Get Lost!'', Alun Armstrong proved to be unavailable and the premise was reworked. It is the first part of ''[[The Beiderbecke Trilogy]]'', with the two sequel series being ''[[The Beiderbecke Tapes]]'' (1987) and ''[[The Beiderbecke Connection]]'' (1988).
