Description
In the ultimate pop quest, 95,000 hopefuls compete for a spot in the spotlight. But what happens when the rules change and the "real" is put back into reality television? Ben Elton's blistering comic satire takes aim at the absurdity of it all.
The show's creator, Calvin Simms, sits smugly in judgment on his carefully scripted search for a star. However, he has no idea that the game is about to turn against him. As the competition heats up, Calvin and his fellow judges find themselves becoming the very thing they once judged - crazed, no-talent fame junkies.
A hilarious and no-holds-barred comedy, Chart Throb is a scathing critique of reality television and the people who create it.
