S1 E1: Looking for Aristotle

Jun 11, 199550 min

Oliver is an involuntarily retired professor with a yen for Beethoven, Jazz and puzzles of all kinds. Diane Priest is a WPC (Woman Police Constable) whose suspicions about a superior officer get her booted from the force. They team up on a journey that Oliver thinks will lead to love, since Diane's statement "Diane, not Priest" is an anagram for "predestination." She thinks he's a loony, but is intrigued by his promise to tell her "the very funny thing I know about sex."

Series info

Oliver's Travels is a five-part television serial written by Alan Plater and starring Alan Bates, Sinéad Cusack, Bill Paterson, and Miles Anderson. It first aired in the UK in 1995. Bates plays the titular Oliver, a keen word-game enthusiast and lecturer in comparative religion. After his teaching post is made redundant, he resolves to make use of his new wealth of free time by going to visit his favourite crossword compiler, 'Aristotle', with whom he has corresponded but whom he has never met. When he arrives, however, he finds Aristotle's house has been ransacked and its occupant has departed for parts unknown, and he sets out to discover why.
