Hoff the Record - Season 1 (2015)

With his Hollywood career effectively at an end and in need of alimony money following his fifth divorce former heart-throb actor David Hasselhoff agrees to come to England to star in an 'avant-garde' docudrama about his life. With an entourage including flustered P.A. Harriet, devious manager Max and adoring driver Terry the Hoff finds himself in a less than luxurious hotel in Carshalton before having to audition to play himself - and losing out to a dwarf and a man who looks nothing like him.

Having recovered from the shock of meeting Dieter the Hoff is also surprised to find that he is to shoot a commercial - organized by Max behind his back - with the fawning Dylan Turnbull, endorsing an after-shave called Be More Hoff. Somewhat humiliatingly it requires him to dress up as the Devil so he is pleased when personal trainer Danny encourages him to exercise with a view to making an action movie.

Disillusioned with show business David warms to Danny's proposal that he becomes a UN goodwill ambassador but learns that he needs debating experience. Thus he turns up at Harriet's old school for their model UN debate and finds himself going head to head with the odious head boy, Alvin, the usual winner. David wins, thanks to a little bribery but his acceptance speech provided by Dieter proves to be controversial and his popularity is on the wane. Fortunately Harriet knows how to rally support when it is most needed.
