The Bass Player and the Blonde is a television play directed by Dennis Vance and starring Edward Woodward and Jane Wymark.

In the play and the series, George Mangham, a middle aged, debt ridden bass player in a jazz band, falls in love with the wealthy and much younger blonde singer Terry, much to the distress of her father.

Where else (except in Pedro the Fisherman) would a bride, serenaded by her lover run out of the church in her wedding dress pursued by rough diamond Dad and his heavy mob?

It has some jolly cameos-they-used-to-be called from, for instance, Alfie Bass as an unintelligible pawn broker.
