Manchester, 1976. Tony Wilson is an ambitious but frustrated local TV news reporter looking for a way to make his mark. After witnessing a life-changing concert by a band known as the Sex Pistols, he persuades his station to televise one of their performances, and soon Manchester's punk groups are clamoring for him to manage them.

Equal parts insightful and hilarious in its retelling of the Manchester music scene Steve Coogan was perfectly cast as the self-aware Wilson
