Love Together’s song “Don’t think we can make it” was an excellent self written number. Would have been top 5 if released and marketed well. Well worth seeking out.
Does anyone have any footage on 26th Feb 1977, series 5 episode 25? My dad who has recently passed was on the show in a band called heritage - Ken butler. I would love to get my hands on this 🙏
does anyone have a download of a band who sang "safe is the fool " on new faces in1976. I think they were called scobie smith? . The song was brilliant

There's no reason to hate Jess Yates - he raised Paula Yates as his own and accepted her as a daughter. Hughie Green was a womanizer during his prime and probably knocked up more than just Paula's mother. He was reputable for having his way with the ladies. If Paula didn't learn of her true fathers identity until 1997 - it was at her mothers disgression (right or wrong) Jess Yates respected that wish. Hughie may have even know that Paula Yates was his daughter and never attempted to contact her
i always remember a comedy duo that the panellists all raved about, they looked a bit like Morecambe & Wise but me & my wife thought they were rubbish, I don't know their names as they were never seem again !!, it was around 1976..
There was a lot of good and a lot of rubbish on theses shows, I still recall a so called comedy double act who just stood there and whispered to each other and pulled faces, the panel thought they were fantastic, they were never seen again...
How on earth did Showaddywaddy NOT come first ? Went on to sell millions. I love the comment below - Simon Cowell basically referred to as a clone of Tony Hatch - "a sh*t Tony Hatch ?!
+Graham Goodall As far as I can gather, this was an all winners show from March 1976. Showaddywaddy's first appearance on New Faces was back in November 1973. In that program they won and were runners up in the all winners final of that same year. By the time this show was broadcast, they had already scored numerous hits in the charts . Their first was single "Hey Rock and Roll", which was released in April 1974 and reached number 2 in the UK charts. I'm sure you probably know this already :-)
@Graham Goodall. I think Micky Most and Tony Hatch gave good comments. They would be excellent for X Factor or B GT. Cowell knows how to give comments but knows F. All about music.
Finding and exposing talent are its redeeming qualities. The judgemental format; winners and losers, were more for the agents and bookers imho, each audience and club can be as different as the next. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, I would agree that some of the nation’s most beloved performers have come through this programme’s trial by jury to achieve that vital step onto the ladder of fame.
Excellent, we need to see these great shows again!
I love how the audience are freezing cold, many of them have their winter coats on!
Derek Hobson his presenting on ATV today in 1975 but his Left in 1978 when Bob warman took over

Correction, Green died in 1997 - Paula Yates learned of him being her father between 1997 and 2000.

X Factor is a carbon copy of New Faces and Cowell is simply aping the bad boy shite that was Tony Hatch. Loathed Hatch...and then came Cowell!
Dreaded virus 😳
Derek you were really hot in those days! sigh...

I suppose we should`nt criticize the show ,Victoria Wood made her debut on it.

Yes she did. As did Lenny Henry, Jim Davidson and Les Dennis.

Awful, in a bizzarre retro way. I remember watching it first time round. Such was commercial tv at the time. Mickey Most!!
