Having appeared on Opportunity Knocks, very early in The Jive Aces career, it was, all-round, a great experience.
Everyone there at the BBC was very supportive of the artists involved and the production itself was top quality and very focused on the talent.
Les Dawson, the host of the final three series', was very funny and a great host. The show was night and day, compared to the more recent and very manipulative, reality TV style "talent contests", with their sob stories and patently fake judge reaction shots.
Some great talent came out of this show and it certainly gave us an excellent promo video as we started out (now on Youtube, search for Jive Aces Opportunity Knocks)
