According to a couple of articles I read , it's based on several real musicians who did have success, with the main characters a kind of mixture of them.

will try and remember the link Doghouse, think it was the Telegraph - a search for telegraph and the name of the show might call it up for you if you have a nose about.

The idea that Anna Friel’s (ah, the stories I could repeat if only our libel laws weren’t so easily accessed by the wealthy  ) overexposed fried eggs could rescue one of, not only, Poliakoff’s worst works but also one of the very worst things the BBC ever aired is somewhat laughable even though I realise you meant it in jest. Let’s hope DotE is along the quality lines of Hidden City, Caught on a Train and Shooting the Past and not comparable to the appalling The Tribe or Friends and Crocodiles. |

I too will be watching it, if for no other reason to see how different Joanne Vanderham looks. I can only see her as Denise in The Paradise!

I'm really enjoying this. Poliakoff can be a bit hit and miss for me (absolutely LOVED Perfect Strangers, hated that one with Damian Lewis, other stuff a bit in the middle) but this is right up my street. I'm loving the music, and Angel Coulby is just fantastic.

enjoyed that. Thought I was the only one watching it as there are two threads by the same name out there.

I loved it too, and the guy with the unpronounceable name who plays Louis is so charismatic.

I think I was looking forward to it a bit too much because I love the period, the style and the music so I found it a bit of a slow burner.
But it wasn't disappointing and I will stick with it. |

Sorry, but I had a major problem with this.
The style of music, particularly the arrangements, was simply wrong for the era it was supposedly set in. It sounded closer to the kind of material that big bands were recording in the mid 1950s than the early 1930s. |

Looked good and the music was great. But it was too slow for my taste, style over substance I would say.
