Meanwhile, they’re being stalked by film director (Alan Cumming) hoping to use them as documentary subjects; at the same time, the girls' manager, Clifford, (Richard E. Grant) is fending off two over-eager Hollywood writers who relentlessly pitch absurd plot ideas for a Spice Girls feature film. Hilarity and madness ensues as the girls fend off the mania that surrounds them. All the while zipping around London in their luxurious double decker tour bus performing for fans.
