Episode synopsis
It’s a trip down rock 'n' roll’s memory lane for Richard Wilson as he recalls his role as manager of The Majestics in John Byrne’s 1987 acclaimed TV drama series Tutti Frutti. When it first hit our television screens, the series was instantly hailed as a modern classic that thrust many of its cast into the mainstream and transformed the career of leading man – and Majestics frontman – the late, great Robbie Coltrane. Here, Richard looks back on his own experience on the series, recalls what it was like being part of the Tutti Frutti success story, and remembers of course what it was like working alongside Robbie on a programme they both loved.
