Sitcom pilot based around Benson, an ex-roadie who runs a recording studio in the home counties that is close to bankruptcy. Benson's hostility to all modern music and bands may contribute to Rockton's poor business prospects. What's more, his son Robin says he wants to fly the nest and travel - maybe to Africa to record real music.
Benson's drinking pal and fellow roadie, Dudley is on hand with advice and dodgy trivia, but things are looking desperate for Rockton Manor unless they land a decent paid booking.
