In an intimate and heartfelt interview, Britain’s biggest voice, Sir Tom Jones, reflects on his extraordinary life and stellar career in song.

From his proud working-class roots in the Welsh valleys to music’s most glittering stages and the world’s television sets, Tom’s remarkable journey spans more than 80 years – and it’s still going strong. But it has not always been easy, and it has required a constant balancing act between fame and fortune, family and staying true to the gift he was born with.

This poignant programme reveals the man behind the voice as Tom looks back on the joy and pain of life and loss. Featuring rare archive footage Tom has never seen before and visits to the places that mean the most to him, it’s a moving portrait of a national treasure.
