The Missing Postman

It starred James Bolam and Alison Steadman.

Gwyneth Strong is in this comedy drama too.

The book by Mark Wallington is still available although I don't know how much it differs.

I also have a memory of Barbara Dickson being involved.

What was it? A series? A film? A one-off?

I think it was a two parter although it was a long time ago.

It's allegedly coming out on DVD at the end of March: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B01ATOR4ZA/comedyguide-21/

It is indeed. Looking forward to it!
