Description
A biting social satire of one of the world's most popular cultural phenomena from the bestselling author of The First Casualty
Chart Throb is the ultimate pop quest. There are 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 has one winner and a whole bunch of losers.
