@iamheadbanger when pitching the concept of This Is Spinal Tap, McKean, Shearer, Guest and Reiner were given $50,000 to write a first draft screenplay. Instead they used the money to make this 'pilot' to show the studio what the finished film could look like.
@iamheadbanger no problem, glad you enjoyed it. And "SPINAL PAP" is funnier than "SPINE TAPE" ;)

@geekroick
thanks for the info :) I see that a couple of jokes ended up in the real movie, and Viv Savage is played by different actor. have a nice day.
