Frank Cottrell Boyce's series of plays about the punk generation 30 years on continues with the story of Mo Motormouth, co-promoter of the original gig. Based on the fictional premise that in March 1977 punk band the Adverts performed a gig in Camberley to an audience of 27 people. Over 30 years later, someone is trying to bring those 27 people back together again for a reunion In 1977, self-styled Mo was writing a punk fanzine. In fact, as the self-styled Mo Motormouth, she was the co-promoter of the original gig. Now she's a struggling commercial radio presenter who鈥檚 been doing the travel news. An attempt to re-launch her ailing career brings unwelcome attention from some of her 'livelier' listeners. Encouraged by her ambitious - or should that be desperate - producer Shammi, her career receives a belated boost when she gives her on-air persona an opinionated, in-yer-face punk makeover. Mo has been invited to the reunion. Will her new-found success survive the attention of a dubious element amongst her audience...not least former co-promoter Benny Bondage who seems convinced there's a nasty skeleton rattling in Mo's cupboard?
