Trivia
Janet Montgomery (Sarah ), Angel Coulby (Jessie) and Anthony Head (Donaldson) have all appeared in the TV series 'Merlin'. They played Princess Mithian, Gwen and Uther Pendragon respectively. Another Merlin connection is Sam Troughton (Prince of Wales), who is the cousin of actor Harry Melling who played Gilli in the show. See more »Goofs
The show identifies Prince George as the Prince of Wales. He was not; his older brother Edward was. Edward was next in line for the throne after George V died but abdicated to marry the woman he loved, American divorcée Wallis Simpson, so George VI became King without ever having been Prince of Wales.

This television series from the celebrated Stephen Poliakoff portrays 1930s upper class London but focuses on a Black Jazz band travelling the clubs of Britain.
They mix with the high ups of polite British society but reveals an underbelly of prejudice, secrets and murder.
Chiwetel Ejiofor plays Louis Lester, trained in the USA but his jazz band takes London by storm when armed with two female singers.
Matthew Goode plays a music journalist who champions the band in his music paper. John Goodman turns up as a mogul who wants to buy newspapers.
Although there are twists and turns, Poliakoff needs to stick to writing. He needs a stronger story editor and get someone else to direct and interpret his words to the screen.
It looks good, there is a fine all star cast from Jacqueline Bisset, Jane Asher, Anthony Head. The music and songs which was written specially for the series is fine with a few memorable tunes but it meanders too much.
The murder story has little mystery as you have a rough idea who the culprit might be.
