In this three-part British adaptation of
Kingsley Amis' novel The Old Devils,
John Stride stars as popular TV host Alun Weaver. Returning to his home town in Wales after a four-decade absence, Weaver hoped to write a novel about his youth, and in this pursuit, he renewed his relationships with his former drinking buddies. Unfortunatley, Weaver's arrival ended up causing nothing but trouble for his old pub pals -- not to mention himself. Produced by Tyne Tees Television, The Old Devils originally aired in 1991. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
