Bucks Fizz's Eurovision triumph kick-started three years of chart hits for the quartet, but a road accident, personal tribulations and legal trouble took their toll, and the group's fortunes dwindled. In 1996, lead singer Bobby Gee recruited David Van Day from eighties pop rivals Dollar, little realising how his band would be torn apart. Jim Carter narrates the tale of a feud that led to two rival Bucks Fizz bands touring the country and a judge deciding who owned the group brand.
