After bringing us the misfortunes of fictional Prog Rock star Brian Pern, writer/director Rhys Thomas turns his attention to real life 1980's pop stars Gary and Martin Kemp. The show follows the misfortunes of the brothers as they prepare for an New Year's Eve concert in front of Big Ben. Such was stealing the mastertapes of their biggest bits and being arrested for dumping chemicals into rivers. A worthy addition to the Rhys Thomas canon.
