Deep End

Deep End is a 1970 romantic drama film directed by Jerzy Skolimowski and starring Jane Asher and John Moulder Brown. Set in London, the film focuses on the relationship between two young colleagues at a suburban bath house and swimming pool.
In 2009, Bavaria Media, a subsidiary of Bavaria Film, which co-produced the film in 1970 through its subsidiary Maran Film, began a digital restoration in honor of the film's 40th anniversary, in cooperation with the British Film Institute. The restored film was rereleased in UK cinemas on 6 May 2011 and on Blu-ray Disc and DVD on 18 July 2011 in BFI's BFI Flipside series. In March 2012, it was first shown on TV by Film4.

Despite the information from Wikipedia quoted above, Deep End was shown on British TV long before the date given. BBC Genome's Radio Times archive lists it as being shown on BBC2 on 22nd May 1977.
In his column in Sounds of 28 May 1977, Peel mentions that "Last night we foregathered around the television to watch a film called 'Deep End' starring, among others, Jane Asher". For Peel and Sheila, she seemed to be the film's main attraction: "Even the Pig, who, at the height of Beatlemania, resented the young woman deeply for her liaison with Paul McCartney, admitted she was rather good. In addition to being rather good she was/is something of a minx, and seeing her in action went a little way to rehabilitating me" 
Although Peel doesn't mention it, the film, shot mostly in Munich in 1970, also features Peel favourites Can on the soundtrack.
