Saturday 16 May – 91Èȱ¬ One, Eurovision: Jade's Story

Andrew Lloyd Webber has a mission – to put the UK back on the Eurovision map. With expectations high, this show follows Jade Ewen from the moment she won the 91Èȱ¬'s Your Country Needs You, through to her arrival in Moscow for the Eurovision Song Contest 2009.

From the excitement and emotion of winning Your Country Needs You we follow Jade – capturing her amazement the day after with her family, before being whisked off to Malta to sing live on their Eurovision show in a vast arena just a couple of days later.

Graham Norton guides viewers through Jade's journey which takes her on a whirlwind of interviews, TV appearances, recording studios and stylists, while the camera goes behind the scenes at the shooting of her music video and numerous TV appearances across Europe.

With Moscow looming does Jade have what it takes to make it at the biggest non-sporting event in the world? Along the way there's help from Andrew Lloyd Webber, coaching from Arlene Phillips and even advice – and some words of warning – from previous winners Lulu and Katrina.

So with the hopes of the nation resting on her shoulders in the vast Olympiyski Indoor Arena in Moscow and in front of more than 100 million TV viewers will Jade be able to claim It's My Time?
