The Big Time

on BBC One London

Jane Manders , Beauty Queen Reporter John Pitman
The award-winning series which allows talented amateurs the chance of their dreams-to take part in a spectacular professional event.
This week we follow Jane's progress as she prepares for the 'Miss United Kingdom' contest. She is a Welsh schoolteacher - she has never taken part in a bathing-beauty contest before. In two weeks she has to learn what to wear, how to make-up, how to walk, and what to say. Top experts including ex-Miss Worlds, Michael Aspel , and columnist Jean Rook , advise her. On the big night we go backstage with Jane and the other contestants to see the last-minute preparations and panics and we stay with them when the moment comes for the judges to announce their verdict.
