Craig Parkinson narrates the inside story behind the success of some of the UK and Ireland's most celebrated male pop groups during the 1990s and early 2000s. Featuring interviews with the stars themselves, as well as with the music label bosses and managers behind their ascent to fame. The first edition looks at the rise to fame of East 17 and Take That, with the two bands fighting it out for chart dominance between 1992 and 1996 against a backdrop of huge change in Britain, as Tony Blair launched New Labour and Britpop altered the musical landscape for ever. Contributors include Robbie Williams, Nigel Martin-Smith, Tony Mortimer, John Hendy, Terry Coldwell, Danniella Westbrook, Andi Peters and Jayne Middlemiss
