What happens
The Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rock Star is a British comedy series, which aired on Channel 4 in 1998. It was a six-part satirical take on the music industry, written by Skins creator Bryan Elsley. The plot centred on a young Glaswegian band – Jocks Wa Hey – as they struggle to find success. The series won Best Drama Serial at the 1999 RTS Television Awards and, that same year, writer Bryan Esley was nominated for Best Writer at the RTS Craft & Design Awards. It was remade as My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star, a short-lived American/Canadian series that starred Oliver Hudson and was made for the now defunct WB Television Network. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
