Comedy drama. Music librarian and part time dance band singer Nelson Glover has his dream world shattered when he meets Sandra Carse.
The producers put together a special dance band to make for a top soundtrack for the production which was also a radio 3 play in 1977. The title comes from a misprouncing of the song lyric “I’m a dreamer, arn’t we all” by a bus driver.
