I have just re-watched " A Young Persons Guide To Becoming A Rock Star", as I have finally converted my VHS to DVDs. I found it to be even more funny than the first time I saw it all those years ago, when it first aired on Channel 4 back in 1998.
A lot of the humour is very obvious, with a slightly satirical, but realistic look at how a rock band gets to the top in the UK music business, with ups and downs along the way.
The pace over the 6 episodes is perfect, and a continual love story between Jez and Fiona in the background, helps the plot progress.
It helps that I actually like this style of music, which was quite prominent during the Nineties. Think Nirvana meets Oasis meets Pet Shop Boys?
The acting for the most part is very good, and I love the cameo appearances by the music/entertainment celebrities.
On the whole, an entertaining watch!
