Paradise Postponed (1986) is a British 11-episode TV serial based on the 1985 novel by writer John Mortimer.

The series covered a span of 30 years of postwar British history, set in a small village.

[1] Simeon's sons Fred, a jazz-drumming country doctor, and Henry, once Britain's brightest and angriest writer who now works for Hollywood, conduct inquiries into their father's life as they try to understand the will.

The TV series was directed by Alvin Rakoff and was mainly shot in Henley-on-Thames and Marlow, Buckinghamshire in the second half of 1985.

[1] While containing a "distinct whiff of snobbery", the character of the lower-class Leslie Titmuss who rises on his wiles is developed as the most fascinating figure in the cast.
