Nearly Famous was a television drama mini-series about a group of British teenagers at a top London school of the performing arts. It was shown in the UK and Ireland on E4. The show was compared to other teen drama series such as The O.C. and Skins. The show debuted on E4 on 8 November 2007 and ended its run on 13 December 2007, having been filmed in Kent, England.
The six part series follows Lila (Talulah Riley), an awkward 19-year-old with a mentally ill mother, but with an exceptional talent for writing; Owen (Aaron Johnson), who can not read music any more than he can rewrite his wayward past; Joe, (Tunji Kasim) a nice guy with a talent doing light and sound, who is a bit of a nerd; and Kate (Anna Brewster) a beautiful, ambitious actress, who is sick of living in the shadow of her successful film director dad. Over the six-week series, the world of this unlikely group of friends is explored.
Choreographed by Caroline Pope.
