- Charts the adventures of the prefab four, possibly the most famous band of all time.
- Rutland Weekend Television takes a look at the Pre-fab Four: Dirk McQuickly (Eric Idle), Barry Wom (John Halsey), Stig O'Hara (Ricky Fataar), and Ron Nasty (Neil Innes); better known as the Rutles. This documentary follows their career from their early days in Liverpool and Hamburg's infamous Rat-Keller, to their amazing worldwide success. A parody of Beatlemania and the many serious documentaries made about the Beatles.—Film Affinity
- Follow four mop topped young Brits whose right choice of trousers (tight) gets them a lifetime recording contract despite their lack of musical ability. Overcoming that, they produce monumental albums like Sgt. Rutter's Only Darts Club Band, which, along with appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show and a concert at Ché Stadium, cement their world domination of pop music. But, as with their Fab Four namesake, artistic differences and various other problems threaten to derail Rutlemania. This Beatles parody, the brainchild of Monty Python's Eric Idle, originally aired as a skit on Saturday Night Live. Audience response was so overwhelming that SNL producer Lorne Michaels decided to go ahead with a full production, enlisting SNL players John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, and Dan Aykroyd, to name a few. Includes The Rutles' wonderfully warped songs Ouch!, Piggy In The Middle, Cheese And Onions, Get Up And Go and many other twisted yet familiar-sounding tunes.
