The egos and rivalries surrounding the legendary Live Aid concert in 1985 get the Urban Myths treatment this week.

Jonas Armstrong is hilarious as a frazzled Bob Geldof, who faces a multitude of disasters from sound issues to diva tantrums as he tries to get all his troublesome acts on stage.

While Midge Ure (a fab turn from Martin Compston) is bitter about Bob hogging the limelight, Elton John (Rufus Jones) is livid that Noel Edmonds crushed his begonias when he collected him in a helicopter, and a spaced-out Status Quo are struggling to remember whether they’ve performed yet.

Only Bob’s PA Marsha (Kerry Howard) is on hand to try to keep him sane!
