12 Yard Productions (for Channel 5) in the UK are currently producing a TV show called BATTLE OF THE POPSTARS which is a new live programme celebrating some of the world's pop music acts such as Prince, Michael Jackson, Wham!/George Michael, Elvis, Cher, Eminem, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, The Beatles, Oasis, Abba, Queen, Blondie The Bee Gee’s, and Robbie Williams.
The show is scheduled for transmission on Sunday May 21st 2006 between 9-11.30pm.
The programme will include interviews with artists, record producers, record industry insiders and journalists, combined with archive footage showing the highlights from the chosen artists' careers. This will be linked together by a presenter - this element will be live giving the viewers an opportunity to phone into vote for their favourite pop artist of all time.

The programme makers are trying to track down someone who would be able to talk about Prince who is an avid fan with personality and who would feel comfortable in front of a camera. They would like this person to talk about the impact of Prince on popular culture and the music industry in general.

As they can’t get the man himself it’s important to get someone who really fits the bill who can take the audience on a trip down memory lane and encourage them to pick up the phone and vote for him!

If you are interested or know anyone that you could put forward, send an e-mail to Annette Henry Annette.Henry@12yard.com. The deadline for applicants is Friday 28th April. They look forward to hearing from you!

C'mon Savage...this ones for you!
