I saw Marti Caine in shows everywhere. A wonderful lady and always always answered my letters and sent photos signed.. All now My Treasure R. I. P.... Lovely Marti..... Douglas Vick Cheltenham Spa...
She a previous casualty of her times, abused young ,a great role model for all young girls who are recovering, this great lady made it known in bios, strengthen victims of future, ur drawn to people who have become stronger over hardships and grief (of any kinf) see how she glows more, more emotional because it eventually became an assest. God bless her family, we all know where she is now!
I was surprised to see that the original Central globe logo was still being used in 1986. I thought it had been replaced by the "flying Disprin" by then.
The Friday 12th would been my birthday ..let me think what did I do ...I have no memory ,maybe Ilford palea ...who knows, cos I haven't a clue being 61 now it all feels a lifetime away 😢
The BBC did an article in 2011 about the 1986 finalists. It seems that the show was a curse for many of them. It went to their heads but was very fleeting, and resulted in poverty and their marriages breaking up. Cadman of Walker and Cadman talked about how they had a couple of years of success after this but their act suddenly went very much out of fashion by 1989 and everything dried up. He ended up sleeping rough. A fellow 1986 finalist, Billy Pearce, also talked about having a couple of years of success after this but losing all his money on bad investments. The person who seems to have done best from the 1986 finalists was the violinist Gary Lovini who was just 17 at the time. He's carved out a career performing on cruise ships and has made a reasonable amount of money. He's one of the few whose first marriage didn't break down.
I remember watching this as a little girl at my nans house. Nostalgic, great memories. RIP Marti Cain
No sob stories. No veneers. Much better than Britain’s got talent

loved marti caine R.I.P.xx
Saw Marti in 1988 getting out of her blue rolls Royce in Oxford, wish I'd spoken to her, too shy. Loved new faces, her exchanges with nina.
I miss Marty Kane very very much she was hilarious and great fun too.
The show originally made Marti a star and then she made that show exciting. Sadly, sadly missed.

Wow, I always associated Nina Myskow with making nasty comments.
Totally unconnected to the show proper, but the frontcap was interesting with the live rendition.
This is totally BONKERS .....I love it
