The Plague (Teenage Kicks)

Punk band that is part of the backstory of the 2007 BBC Radio 2 show and the 2008 ITV sitcom Teenage Kicks. Protagonist Vernon Heath, the band's former front man, is now 49, divorcing, and living in the past. Heath is played by Adrian Edmondson as a sort of updated Vyvyan from the classic UK comedy series The Young Ones, while fellow band member Bryan is played as a "sell out" by Ben Elton (radio)/Mark Arden (TV).
