Set against the glossy, bitchy back drop of a TV music talent show, Michelle Collins (Dr Who, Two Thousand Acres of Sky, EastEnders) and Sean Gallagher (Coronation Street, New Street Law) go to war as Karina and Mal Faith, the bickering judges on the phenomenally successful Rock Rivals. When Mal’s affair with an assistant becomes public knowledge, all hell breaks loose and their marriage spectacularly and very publicly implodes.
The series not only follows the Faiths as their vicious divorce descends into all out war, but charts the highs and lows of the contestants involved.
With a supporting cast made up of young actors playing the contestants each episode will see one of them being knocked out of the show within a show, Rock Rivals. As the drama moves to its spectacular finale, the addition of the public vote ensures this will be no ordinary show about sex, love, betrayal and gaining the competitive edge.
Ever been disappointed with an ending to a drama? Ever thought that given the opportunity, you would change events and alter the outcome? Two endings will be filmed for Rock Rivals and the UK public will get the chance, between the penultimate and final episode, to decide who should triumph.
Rock Rivals is commissioned by Director of Network Drama, Laura Mackie and Controller of Network Drama, Sally Haynes, is Executive Produced by Brian Park (Footballers Wives, Bad Girls) is produced by Emma Turner (New Tricks, Holby City), and is directed by Syd Macartney (New Tricks, Jane Hall), Farren Blackburn (Waterloo Road, Doctors), Ian Bevitt (The Chase, The Royal) and James Erskine (Robin Hood, Torchwood).
Rock Rivals begins on March 5th, 2008 on ITV1
