And The Beat Goes On
Synopsis
It is 1960. Buddy Holly is dead and Elvis is in the army. But in small town Britain, the Swinging 60s are still around the corner and 50s attitudes prevail.
Ritchie and Christine come from very different backgrounds – Ritchie’s family have moved into a new house with an inside toilet, while Christine’s MP father must face up to his wife’s tranquilliser addiction and brother-in-law Ken’s homosexuality. Against the odds, the two fall in love, only for Cathy, Ritchie’s regular girlfriend, to fall pregnant – by another man. Thinking the child is his, Ritchie puts his love for Christine and his rock band on hold and does the decent thing. Fate lends a helping hand, however, and as Cathy heads for pop stardom in London, Ritchie is bound for New York and the American Dream – with Christine.
