Synopsis
This quarter-hour sketch shows charted moments of high drama among the members of a local council in the Home Counties. The material was usually connected to the premises tenuously, if at all, and included a plethora of wilfully meandering idea gags.

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
