Adapted by Alan Plater from the saga by Bill Tidy with music by Bill Wrigley it held and amused the full house audience from beginning to end. He was born in Tranmere, Cheshire and proudly embraced his Northern working-class heritage in everything he did. Bill Tidy’s Fosdyke Saga is a grand exemplar: combining a smart, painfully self-aware surreal blend of parody, insular localised legend and working-class aspiration with sheer surrealism.By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions.

The Fosdyke Saga was the story of Roger Ditchley, a wastrel son of a tripe magnate, Old Ben Ditchley, who was deliberately disinherited by his father in favour of Jos Fosdyke.After inheriting old Ben’s business, Jos imaginatively expands and diversifies, but family troubles and Roger’s machinations constantly confound his plans for repast supremacy.

With the war ended, attacks on the factory resume, Albert is lost in an air race that lands him and Albion’s adored aviatrix the Hon. Generally, it all showed how even posh folk don’t get to be secure or content and remains a powerful literary presence. I mention this simply because Upstairs Downstairs also highlighted disparities, similarities and interactions of upper-class toffs and working people in a weekly accessible form, but explored the same Edwardian and Georgian eras as Tidy’s wickedly whacky wonders.
