The ReviewBrief: Rodney is the drumless drummer in Mental
Micky's band, 'A Bunch Of Wallies'. Delboy takes on the job of
manager, getting them an abortive St Paddy's night gig at The
Shamrock Club. Will they be a hit or miss? Thursday nights Top of
the Pops will reveal all. Transmitted: 14.03.1985 Duration: 30 minutes Viewing Figures: 13.6 million
Rodney has joined a new band, and Del immediately capitalises
on this by booking them into The Shamrock Club to play for the St
Patrick's night festivities.
Taking his place as the band's manager, Del winces his way
through their rehearsals, and when the Shamrock gig results in a
fight, the band are forced to leg it, leaving the instruments
behind them.
When Rodney finds out the musical equipment has vanished, he
contacts the police and helps them with their enquiries. When tell
sees Rodney with the constable, he quickly distracts the officer
and pulls Rodney aside. It turns out that Del had the instruments
on sale or return, and he'd taken them back because their band was
so bad.
Rodney's dreams of showbiz fame have been shattered, but he
goes ballistic when he sees his group performing their old hit
single on Top of the Pops and realises that without Del's
interference he might have made it to number one.
