Vegas stars in new music label comedy
Johnny Vegas is to star in a new BBC Three comedy called Massive, that sees the launch of Manchester's hottest new record label – Shady Records.

The cast also includes Ralf Little of Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps and The Royle Family fame and Carl Rice from Scallywagga.

Massive follows Danny and Shay as they call time on their dreary temping jobs to follow their dream and bring their music obsession to the masses.

Danny's from Didsbury (posh), Shay is from Gorton (not so posh) and they both work for the council. Bored with their lives, they're brought together by their love of music.

The series follows their attempts to get the label up and running – signing bands, losing them again, always on the lookout for the next big thing.

En route the Beeb promises they will pluck a girl band from the obscurity of Superb'uns cake shop, get sued by Eminem, get lost in the Pennines – where they find the new Oasis – and get involved in a scam involving a Macedonian prostitute called Zora who has a revolutionary way of making shish kebabs...

Massive has been written by Damian Lanigan whose music credentials go back to 1984 when his band The Twentieth Legion played the Hacienda.
