Further details
Liam is back at his parents' house in Leeds. Having told Jess he'll spend the day preparing to perform at a local spoken word night, instead he's procrastinating and playing old video games. But when he turns on his childhood computer and stumbles on an old homemade hip-hop track, it triggers a memory.
Leeds, early noughties. Inspired by the new wave of 'bedroom musicians' breaking into the charts, Liam tries to convince his best mates Addy, Craggy and Ralph to make a hip-hop track with him. But when they don't take "the art" seriously, Liam struggles to keep a lid on it.

Review: Ladhood, BBC Three, episode 4, Bedroom
The dialogue is not always entirely convincing, but it is funny, with the references to Eminem, Natasha Bedingfield and shell suits striking a comedic nostalgic chord.
