But popular success is no longer enough - the council wants to be rid of the financial burden and brings in Norman's one-time friend Eddie to 'spice up the programming' with increasingly hilarious results. Eddie's arrival stirs up longburied disappointments... that Norman, aided by his loyal assistant Sandra, is forced to confront. The lead role of Norman is played by actor Roger Lloyd Pack, in a far cry from the sitcom characters of Trigger and Owen. Norman, who was a teenage fan of Alma Cogan, the most popular and successful female vocalist in the UK between the early fifties and mid sixties, is unable to forget his romantic encounter with the singer nearly fifty years ago. He finally achieves closure with the assistance of Cedric, played by another much loved actor, Keith Barron and his loyal assistant Sandra (Niamh Cusack). One of Britain's best-known actors, John Hurt appears briefly in a jacket-sparkling cameo spot as a congenial seaside show host. ...In Love with Alma Cogan [show more]

Gentle British romantic drama set in the fading world of the seaside variety show. Roger Lloyd-Pack stars as Norman, the elderly manager of a once-grand end-of-pier theatre in Cromer, Norfolk who is struggling to keep the theatre alive and uncorrupted by the forces of commercialism and modern life. Salvation eventually comes to Norman and his long-suffering assistant Sandra (Niamh Cusack) in the unlikely form of an impersonator of 1960s singing sensation Alma Cogan.
