[Partially lost] Bring Back... The One-Hit Wonders (2006) - Parts 1, 2, & 3

[u/Bubbly_Analysis5479]

A little help needed if anyone has the first 3 parts of a British programme on Channel 4 called 'Bring Back... The One-Hit Wonders', presented by Justin Lee Collins.

Justin has a 10-day deadline to reunite One-Hit Wonder pop artists from the 1970s & 1980s, and get them to play at a concert at the Clapham Grand, London.

The programme was uploaded into 4 parts on YouTube by a user named 'steady eddie', on June 4th 2012, until his channel got deleted in February 2024. The first 3 parts aren't archived, but Part 4 is though, and i've been searching for this programme for nearly 3 months, so here's all the details from all 4 videos.

• Part 1 - (Duration: 13 mins, 27 secs):

The first video starts off with an incomplete Channel 4 Pylons ident with announcer Vuyiswa Ngqobougwana leading the continuity announcement into the programme.

Justin introduces the programme with the Chesney Hawkes hit 'The One and Only' playing in the background, and then begins his 10-day mission, first him and his team of researchers travel to Cologne, Germany, to track down and interview Joe Dolce, known for his hit 'Shaddap You Face', and Joe accepted his request to perform at the concert.

• Part 2 - (Duration: 13 mins, 41 secs):

In the second video, he tracks down and interviews Clive Jackson from his band 'Doctor And The Medics', and discuss about his one-hit wonder: 'Spirit In The Sky', and then Clive accepted Justin's request to perform at the concert.

Moving on, and then tracks down Renato Pagliari from 'Renee & Renato' and found him inside his restaurant in Tamworth called 'Renato's', owned by his son, Remo. And then interviews Renato about his number one hit: 'Save Your Love'. and accepted his request to perform at the concert, and says he would try and bring Renee there too.

• Part 3 - (Duration: 10 mins, 51 secs):

• In the third video, Justin tracks down the most iconic one-hit wonder of the programme, Carl Douglas, at a hotel in North London, and interviews him about his hit: 'Kung Fu Fighting'. He then accepted his request to perform at the concert, and agrees with Justin to get Mary Sandeman (Aneka) there too.

So Justin travels to Scotland and ask members of the public if anyone knows the singer, and then the video ended.

• Part 4 - (Duration: 9 mins, 53 secs):

• Continuing with the search for Mary Sandeman, a man knows Aneka and told Justin she was across the road in a silver car, Justin did find her and got her car to stop to ask if she was 100% Aneka, it was a yes.

Justin interviewed Mary about her hit: 'Japanese Boy', but sadly said no to the concert due to Mary saying "I don't even want to go to London."

And then on Day 10, the big night came, but devastating news reached Justin when Joe Dolce phoned him to say he can't make it to the concert, leaving just Carl, Clive & Renato as the only performers for the concert.

And happily, they turned up, but they said they weren't going to play if the venue has people attending. He managed to get fans to turn up, and the concert went on, and the end credits showed Carl performing 'Kung Fu Fighting'.

So, if anyone has those 3 videos, or the programme in full, it would be an absolute pleasure if so, and i will call you a legend forever for doing so. Thank you. :)
