Back To The Future. McFly were inspired by the Busted single "Year 3000" which has a reference to the film "Back To The Future" in its lyrics. The character of Marty McFly was played in the film by Michael J Fox. Good job they did not name themelves after the character of Doctor Emmett Brown, as I don't think the name Brown would have had quite the same ring to it! Whilst researching this quiz I discovered that there was an American band called McFly. Despite the fact that they had actually been around longer then the UK McFly, they very kindly changed their name to Mighty McFly to avoid any confusion.

Casualty. In the "Casualty" storyline, a fan gets injured whilst trying to take a picture of McFly at their hotel room window. The characters, mother and daughter Sally and Rose Pearson, use a window cleaners cradle to lower themselves to the 14th floor where the band are staying. Rose is injured whilst climbing back into the cradle after taking the photo. McFly then later pay a visit to the Holby A&E Department to see how she is recovering, presenting a bunch of flowers to Rose with the words "Roses for Rose"! The episode first aired in the UK on Saturday 8th January 2005. In interviews, McFly said they enjoyed their acting experience and hoped they would have the chance to appear before the cameras again. In their normal musicial roles, McFly performed at the "Eastenders Christmas Party" in December 2004, singing the Beach Boys classic "Little Saint Nick".
