Clive James goes to LA ostensibly to find out what it takes to become a star.
What he shows is that Hollywood stars have to look great, stay in great shape, meet and greet all the movers and shakers if they want to stay at the top.
It is less a travelogue, although we see Clive driving around Hollywood and visiting Muscle Beach.
The fun is seeing Clive having a toupee put on him or working out with Jake Steinfeld or discovering that there is an actual living you can make parking the cars belonging to stars at parties.
Clive James goes on The Tonight Show where the guest host was Jay Leno. By that time Johnny Carson only turned up if he felt like working.
The best part was Clive in his wig, dressed up as a cowboy as he attends a Hollywood charity bash. It was worth listening to his wry commentary, he knew he was not going to make it as a star.
