... Tony Blair: Rock Star is a new comedy that reconstructs the attempts of a teenage Tony Blair to make it big in the world of rawk.

Years before Tony took up residence in Downing Street, he had a dream - a dream filled with the deafening roar of adoring schoolgirls as he took to a strobe-lit stage as a proper rock god.

Based on interviews with people close to Blair as a young man, this film tells the true story of a frustrated rock star whose alternative career path ulitmately led him to the House of Commons.

Tony Blair: Rock Star charts his journey from naughty public schoolboy to lead singer in Ugly Rumours, and features previously unseen photos of Blair as a wannabe rock phenomenon.

From accomplished Mick Jagger mimic at Fettes Public School, where he styled his unruly hair with butter, to his days as a teenage band promoter, Blair is portrayed as fame-obsessed, someone who had no interest in politics but forever craved the limelight.

No change there then.
