The show had two series, both of which had 13 episodes.

The series was cancelled when the real band had been dropped by their record label and decided to split up on the 11th September 2006.

Characters

22-year-old Tasha (Lauren Blake) is the front woman and the emotional driving force behind the band: the one with the vision and the sheer unstoppable enthusiasm to pull this thing off. Tasha automatically takes on the 'mum' role to her bandmates but she's totally clueless in matters of romance.

Tasha may have the energy, but 22-year-old Neve (Hayley Angel Wardle

) is the one with the cred. She seems to know everything about every band that ever was. She’s spent years gigging. She has been the drummer in a couple of bands before that ‘nearly made it’ but didn’t.

Sweet and unoffensive, Flo (Helena Dowling) is the baby of the group, even though at 22 she’s the same age as the others. Flo is a bit of a daddy's girl, and is torn between the grounded world of her family and fiancé and the exciting, unpredictable world of life in a band.

For 21-year-old Charlie (Bryony Afferson), being a famous musician is more important to her than being best mates with the other girls. She's deeply competitive and insecure about her songwriting around the others, particularly Neve. Charlie always assumed she'd be a solo star, not a band member.

Soundtrack

The show had a lot of performances from the band and also included some other music.
