Sweet and Sour was a 1984 dramedy series on the Australian ABC. It charted the formation, rise and eventual demise of a Sydney-based band, the Takeaways.To a certain generation of Australians, it's a Cult Classic - but since it was only screened once, it's little known outside that demographic. All 20 episodes are available on YouTube: start here.

The Cameo: If you were a big name in the Australian music industry in 1984, the chances are you had a small role in this.

Sunglasses at Night: Johnny is rarely seen without his sunglasses. Not even when driving down the busiest highway in the country in the middle of the night.

A Good Name for a Rock Band: subverted, as almost every name anyone suggests is derided by the others as horrible. The name they wind up with is not better.
