What was the '90s comedy with an aged rockstar?

Hi there, I'm from Australia, and I am wanting to find out the name of a British comedy series that was about an aged rock-star who lived in a castle and his partner's name was 'Debs'? It was aired here in the early 1990s I think.

Thanks,

Wasn't it that Harry Enfield one?

Yes, it was called Celeb.

And it wasn't made until 2002 - I know Australia's stuck in a time warp, but that's ridiculous! ;)

Thanks Guys! Yeah okay, I'm a blonde - time elludes me totally.... this time anyway. I just read reviews on IMDB which makes me think that you poms didn't enjoy it , yet aussies who reviewed it did. I thought it was really funny, especially after seeing the Ozzie Osbourne real-life series. Thanks very much for helping me out on this one & enjoy your pint and chips while I go throw another snag on the barbie. Angelic

I thought it was alright, but it was no work of brilliance.

I was looking for a long time for this sitcom. Thanks!

It wasn't great. It's based on the comic strip from Private Eye.

I remember watching it with my son and laughing a lot. But I'm in Australia too so maybe it seemed funnier down under. The episode where he thought he was hosting Michael Jackson was memorable. It turned out to be a decoy body double to confuse the press and Michael was staying with Elton.
