Music, Murder & The Golden Microphone
It’s now 1984 and it looks to be a terrific year for Spanky Spandex, the legendary but somewhat ageing, pop star! He has just got engaged to his beautiful girlfriend and his latest song is tipped to top the charts. At Spandex Mansions the world’s glitterati, press and of course party girls are gathered to celebrate and are waiting in the drawing room for Spanky to make his grand entrance. But where is he? The butler goes to look for Spanky and returns with the most awful news - he is dead, found slumped over a box of his favourite chocolates! Did it all get too much for him and he had a heart attack? Or, as many suspect, was it murder? Surely someone as well loved as Spanky did not have any enemies or did he?
