Chart Throb.The ultimate pop quest. Ninety five thousand hopefuls.
Three judges. Just one winner. And that's Calvin Simms, the genius
behind the show. Calvin always wins because Calvin writes the
rules. But this year, as he sits smugly in judgement upon the
mingers, clingers and blingers whom he has pre-selected in his
carefully scripted 'search' for a star, he has no idea that the
rules are changing. The 'real' is about to be put back into
'reality' television and Calvin and his fellow judges (the nation's
favourite mum and the other bloke) are about to become ex-factors
themselves. Ben Elton, author of Popcorn and Dead Famous returns to
blistering comic satire with a savagely hilarious deconstruction of
the world of modern television talent shows. Chart Throb. One
winner. A whole bunch of losers.
