September Song


September Song was a Granada comedy-drama starring Russ Abbot (currently seen as Hobbo in Last of the Summer Wine) and the late Michael Williams (who starred with his wife, Judi Densch, in A Fine Romance and Love In A Cold Climate). Hal Erickson wrote this review in All Movie Guide:
Premiering with a one-hour episode in 1993, the British comedy-drama September Song settled into a weekly half-hour berth not long afterward. Russ Abbot and Michael Williams were respectively cast as the recently widowed Ted Fenwick and Ted's best friend, professional comedian Billy Balsam. Electing to join forces to get as much out of life as they could, Ted and Billy cut a wide swath through their hometown of Blackpool before embarking upon a Mediterranean cruise. The series wound to a close as Ted and Billy found themselves in Cromer. Boasting a large and ever-changing supporting cast (mostly female), September Song remained on Granada Television's manifest for 19 episodes, ending its run in 1995.
Actually, there were 20 episodes.
