Massive hits BBC Three this autumn | Print |  Email to a friend
Monday, 01 September 2008

New Manchester-based comedy series Massive is set to hit the screens this Autumn, as two music fans attempt to start a hot new record label.

Starring Ralf Little, Johnny Vegas and Paul Kaye, it’s set around Manchester and Salford as Danny (Little) and Shay (Carl Rice) launch their label, Shady Records.

Massive hits BBC Three this autumn
Danny is from Didsbury and Shay from Gorton and their musical skills are zero.

So quite like a number of record industry bosses.

During the series they manage to find a future girl band in a cake shop, get sued by Eminem and discover the new Oasis in the Pennines.

The show has been written and created by Damian Lanigan, directed by David Kerr and produced by Jim Poyser. Kenton Allen is exec producer.

Many of the recording studio scenes were set in Salford’s Blueprint Studios , which is getting quite a name for itself from location scouts - probably hoping to bump into the famous recording artists (50 Cent) who keep nipping in for a quick single.
