TONY BLAIR ROCK STAR
Channel 4-V Good Films / 1x65 minute episode /
Thursday 19 January 2006 @ 10:00pm
Writer: Mark Chapell / Producer: Victoria Powell / Documentary Director: Bruce
Goodison / Drama Director: Alison Jackson
This comedy documentary reveals how politics' gain was pop music's loss by
reconstructing the attempts of a teenage Tony Blair to make it big in the world
of rock. Long before Tony Blair took up residence in Downing Street he had a
dream - a dream in which he heard the roar of adoring schoolgirls as he took to
a strobe-lit stage as a rock god.
Based on interviews with people close to Blair as a young man, this film tells
the true story of a frustrated rock star whose alternative career path led to
the House of Commons. Tony Blair Rock Star charts his journey from naughty
public schoolboy to lead singer of Oxford University band Ugly Rumours and
features previously unseen photos of Blair as a wannabe rock phenomenon.
Satirical reconstructions, directed by look-alike photographer Alison Jackson,
recreate key stages in Tony's desire to be a rock star. From accomplished Mick
Jagger mimic at Fettes Public School, where he styled his unruly hair with
butter, to his days as a teenage band promoter, the film portrays Blair as a
fame-obsessed student who had no interest in politics but forever craved the
limelight.
