Catch up TV

Episode 28 January 2021

A look back at the best of Angus Deayton’s Before They Were Famous series, which sees him digging into the archives in a quest for clips of some of the world’s most celebrated stars before they had started twinkling.\n\nThis is the footage a host of familiar faces didn’t want you to see, from Hollywood A-listers in the days when their biggest gigs were all television adverts, to superstar singers trying their luck on game shows and beauty pageants. So sit back and enjoy Dustin Hoffman selling cars, Geri Halliwell’s career as a Turkish TV game show hostess, Colin Farrell, line dancer extraordinaire, Keanu Reeves - cornflake king, and many more moments that prove everybody has to start somewhere, usually right at the bottom.\n
