I Had The X Factor... 25 Years Ago

Overview

In 1986, six hopefuls awaited their turn on New Faces, the popular TV talent show. Among them were comedians, singers, a teenage violin prodigy, and a Birmingham club crooner. New Faces had launched stars like Victoria Wood, Jim Davidson, and Les Dennis. For these six contestants, it was a night that changed their lives in unexpected ways. Their subsequent 25 years involved tangled love stories, international drama, a business collapse, an appearance in Britain's Got Talent semi-finals, and even prison and homelessness.
