Overview

The Good Companions is a nine-part British television miniseries based on J. B. Priestley's 1929 novel of the same name. Produced by Yorkshire Television for ITV, the series stars John Stratton, Jeremy Nicholas, Frank Mills, John Blythe, and Leslie Sands. Discontent with his home, his work and his football team, Jess Oakroyd tears up his insurance card and disappears into the night. Intent on going to Nuneaton, he instead finds himself on the ragged edges of showbusiness. We share with him the trials and tribulations of the Good Companions as they tour seaside towns, industrial cities and rural backwaters in their search for success and stardom.
