Summary

Belinda Purcell (Liza Goddard) is a piano teacher living in a small, quiet village with her father Oliver (Richard Vernon).

One day, a new tenant arrives at the 'big house'. He's Nigel Cochrane (Nigel Planer), a well-known rock star. He talks Belinda into helping him with arrangements for the songs on his new album.

Later, Belinda decides to branch out on her own, with the help of lyricist Marvin Fertleman (Emlyn Price).
