The viewing audience is introduced to this brilliant new series, where hopefuls from around the country audition to be Britain's newest Pop Idol. We are also introduced to the hosts, the irrepresable Ant and Dec, and the judges, music moguls Simon Cowell, Pete Waterman, Nikki Chapman and Dr Fox, and get to see some of the very first auditions from Manchester, London and Glasgow. Among these is the woman that decides to do 'YMCA' for her audition piece, the gorgeous Gareth Gates, who overcomes his stutter to perform, and the hilarious 'Sexual' Sharman, whose reaction at getting rejected is classic. (Throwing things around and regularly collapsing to his knees to cry).
