I liked this program.

The adventures of three young women from diverse show biz backgrounds meet at an audition and form a rock trio with hilarious results; including a tour where one of the venues is a Scottish country & western bar. Great performances and good singing and outrageous humor. Good songs too! ("I used to be in talkin' pictures, talkin' pictures, if you know what I mean" is a hoot.) British humor at its best by, ironically an American author. My thumbs are way up. Love to see this again - it was run on PBS. RB
