Great music, a superb cast and a fantastic dark and witty script took this 1987 muIti-BAFTA winning series to number 82 in the BFl’s top TV programmes of alI time - and made househoId names of its stars, Robbie Coltrane (Cracker) and future Oscar winner, Emma Thompson.
The series foIIows the fortunes of rock and roll band The Majestics - Scotland's very own heroes of the 1960s beat boom - who re-group to play a 25th anniversary tour. Despite the death of Iead singer Jazza McGlone in a freak car crash, band manager Eddie Clockerty is stiIl determined to re-create the Majestic's haIcyon days. So, in his place, the group's manager Eddie Clockerty recruits Jazza’s Iess-than-enthusiastic younger brother Danny.
As the group performs in some of Scotland’s less salubrious clubs and pubs, it seems their personal disagreements and private tragedies wiIl force the band to disintegrate. ls there any way the seIf-styIed 'Kings of Rock and RoIl’ can avoid a slow seIf-destruction and recapture their former gIories?
The Tutti Frutti sIeeve was designed from hand drawn paintings commissioned especially for the reIease by accIaimed Scottish artist John Byrne. |
