E4 brings The Midnight Beast (aka Stefan Abingdon, Dru Wakely and Ashley Horne) to TV.

This sitcom features the band members alongside a host of comedic guest stars, who are depicted as wannabe musicians struggling to make it.
As well as slipping into wild music videos, the series sees the band having to cope with day-to-day challenges like sharing a dingy East London flat and trying to impress girls when they have no cash and one of them has to sleep in the kitchen.
The series charts their failures and successes as they try to claw and hobble through a sea of bizarre obstacles and unsavoury characters toward pop stardom.
