Chart Throb is the account of the production and execution of a series of a ‘fictional’ TV talent show. The parallels with The X Factor are not only glaringly obvious but deliberate, and in a clever move to avoid tricky libel actions, Elton has his judges Calvin Simms (control freak media mogul), Beryl Blenheim (‘rock chick from way back’ and Botoxed star of docusoap The Blenheims) and Rodney Root (washed-up former boy band svengali) make occasional references to Simon Cowell, Sharon. If you, like me, are a fan of Ben Elton's writing, you will be disappointed. Chart Throb is based on the X Factor type reality shows in the same way that Dead Famous was based on Big Brother. I loved Dead Famous and would highly recommend that book, but Chart Throb probably lets itself down by being too realistic!.
