I've been catching up with this on 4od, and I hadn't seen it since it was first on in 1999.
It's basically an OTT friday night Channel 4 comedy piss-take of boybands. There was a similar comedy at the same time on another channel called 'The One'. What's even more confusing is that one of the actors is in both fake boybands.
Anyway, it's great to see actors in their younger days - James Corden, Lee Williams etc - and Tanya Turner even turns up in an episode as a soap star!

I used to love this! I had a cruch on the typical "cute" one.
OT: Do people still say "crush" anymore? I think I picked it up flicking through Fast Forward in the mid nineties.

I remember this. Wasn't The One the GMTV boyband though? I think I have their single.

I fucking loved Boyz Unlimited. Undoubtedly the best bit was when they did a shit cover of "A Little Bit More" by Dr Hook, and 911's shit cover was simultaneously number 1. The Melody Maker letters page fair burst with the IRONIKS.

This is on 4od?! Oh, GOD, how exciting! This show made me the person I am today.
Ah, what a lovely bank holiday I've got ahead of me.

The One was the GMTV soap-opera boyband. I was obsessed with how shit they were. I have the single, somewhere.
I'm getting Boyz Unlimited confused with Young Person's Guide To Becoming A Rock Star, which was unadulterated shite.
