Rock Follies, and its sequel, Rock Follies of '77, was a musical drama shown on British television in the 1970s. The storyline, over 12 episodes and two series, followed the ups and downs of a fictional female rock band called the "Little Ladies" as they struggled for recognition and success. The series starred Rula Lenska, Charlotte Cornwell and Julie Covington as the Little Ladies, with support from Emlyn Price, Beth Porter, Sue Jones-Davies, Stephen Moore and Little Nell among others. The series was made with a very low budget for Thames Television, with a style inspired by fringe theatre. The series was a success, winning three BAFTA Awards and the soundtrack album reaching No.1 in the UK Charts.
Stavros agrees to take on the girls, and they sign a contract with him. Almost immediately, he changes their image to 1920s-style cabaret singers, far from their previous rock image. The girls regret the decision, but are unable to break the contract without ruining themselves. When Derek too voices his complaints, he is sidelined; image consultants, choreographers and a new songwriter are drafted. The girls appear as a light cabaret act at Stavros's club, Idols.
