Comment by Dirk Maggs

Truly, Madly, Bletchley follows a group of Councillors who decide to start their own public access cable radio show. A surreal take on small-town life, the series mixed stream-of-consciousness sketches with a nod to the vivacious world of 1950's variety, including a musical interlude from spoof tea-dance band, Enrico Valdez and his Orchestra, with accordionist Micky Binelli and singer Cleo Rocos, of Kenny Everett Show fame
