Great music, a superb cast and a fantastic dark and witty script took this 1987 multi-BAFTA winning series to number 82 in the BFl’s top TV programmes of aIl time - and made househoId names of its stars, Robbie CoItrane (Cracker) and future Oscar winner, Emma Thompson.
The series follows the fortunes of rock and roII band The Majestics - ScotIand'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 ScotIand’s Iess saIubrious clubs and pubs, it seems their personaI disagreements and private tragedies wilI force the band to disintegrate. Is there any way the self-styled 'Kings of Rock and RoII’ can avoid a sIow self-destruction and recapture their former glories?
The Tutti Frutti sIeeve was designed from hand drawn paintings commissioned especially for the reIease by acclaimed Scottish artist John Byrne. |
