A totally original - and at the time extremely daring - blend of music, drama, comedy, satire, fantasy and dance, Rock Follies owes as much to the American musicals of the thirties and forties as it does to glam rock and women's lib. A huge success both critically and commercially, it won a BAFTA Award for Best Drama Series and spawned a Number One album.
"Rock Follies" follows the fortunes of 'The Little Ladies' - Q (Rula lenska), Dee (Julie Covington) and Anna (Charlotte Cornwell) through the ruthless world of the music business. Persuaded by Derek 'Hyper' huggins to form a band they bid for rock stardom, but can they reach the big-time?
Returning in "Rock Follies of '77", 'The Band Who Wouldn't Die' continue their rough ride through the rock world, especially when they clash with a punk rock group. Against diversity, will they fulfil their dreams?
