- Synopsis:
Our "Urban Myths" are stories that have been passed down over time and have now become part of urban folklore. But are they true? We take a slightly tongue-in-cheek, mischievous - and deliberately ambiguous - look at what might have happened...Music legend Bob Dylan (Eddie Marsan) decides to fly to the U.K. one day to visit his mate Dave Stewart (Paul Ritter). Soon he finds himself waiting for Dave in his flat dutifully being served tea by his girlfriend. But is he really in the right place? You decide...Live Aid was not only "the day rock'n 'roll changed the world", it was also the source of countless music industry rumours. Backstage at Live Aid is a reimagined story that takes place behind the scenes on that unforgettable day in 1985...In 1984, property magnate and entrepreneur Donald Trump (Anthony Atamanuik) bought an American football team. In an attempt to stir up some publicity, he held cheerleader auditions in the basement of Trump Tower with a panel of celebrity judges, including Andy Warhol (Jack McBrayer). Though initially reluctant to take part, Warhol had some unfinished business with the tycoon, who had previously commissioned some artwork which he never paid for. So Warhol decided to use the opportunity to confront the future US president about the debt...Desperate for money, Orson Welles (Robbie Coltrane) agrees to front a British anthology series, but after a shaky start he is taken hostage... - Actors:
