Series 1

It’s the early 90s, and Take That are vying with East 17 for both teenage hearts and chart dominance, giving birth to a British pop phenomenon which would define the decade.

It’s the late 90s. Bad boys Five, squeaky clean 911 and R&B-influenced Damage seek boy band supremacy. But can their young hearts survive the demands of a tough music industry?

A now finely tuned boyband machine produces slick pop acts Blue and Westlife. TV talent shows threaten the end of the phenomenon - but then Take That mount a remarkable return.
