Synopsis

Rock Follies, and its sequel, Rock Follies of '77, was a musical drama shown on British television in the 1970s. The storyline, over 12 episodes and two series, followed the ups and downs of a fictional female rock band called the "Little Ladies" as they struggled for recognition and success. The series starred Rula Lenska, Charlotte Cornwell and Julie Covington as the Little Ladies, with support from Emlyn Price, Beth Porter, Sue Jones-Davies, Stephen Moore and Little Nell among others. The series was made with a very low budget for Thames Television, with a style inspired by fringe theatre. The series was a success, winning three BAFTA Awards and the soundtrack album reaching No.1 in the UK Charts.

6. The Real Life

Dec 6, 1977 · 30 min

With Anna out, Q realises that her vocals are far too weak, especially when compared to Dee and Rox. At first, she just fades into the background, but then she too decides it is time to depart. At first, Q enters a deep depression, but the sudden appearance of her oft-married mother gets her back on track.
