This is more of a heads up than a stunningly good deal. This was shown on TV in the 80's and is legendary. Its release was held up for years because of legal & copyright issues.
DVD Description
Great music, a superb cast and a fantastic dark and witty script took this 1987 multi-BAFTA winning series to number 82 in the BFIs top TV programmes of all time and made household names of its stars, Robbie Coltrane (Cracker) and future Oscar winner, Emma Thompson.
The series follows 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 lead singer Jazza McGlone in a freak car crash, band manager Eddie Clockerty is still determined to re-create the Majestic's halcyon days. So, in his place, the group's manager Eddie Clockerty recruits Jazzas less-than-enthusiastic younger brother Danny.
As the group performs in some of Scotlands less salubrious clubs and pubs, it seems their personal disagreements and private tragedies will force the band to disintegrate. Is there any way the self-styled 'Kings of Rock and Roll can avoid a slow self-destruction and recapture their former glories?
