Description

Music featuring children from Sharman's Cross Comprehensive School in Shirley. Following a nuclear war in 2021 the future world is repopulated using 14-year-old clones. Albert Hall controlls these clones using his musical powers but he runs out of tunes and is forced to abduct four children from 1980 using a time machine to produce new music. The musical is shot inside the school and features young cast drawn from pupils at the school. Some elements of the story (nuclear war, first world war battle scenes and dance crazes) are illustrated with stock footage.
