Bernard Braden talks to singer Tom Jones about his recent million-dollar US contract and his future acting plans
Overview
Bernard Braden interviews singer Tom Jones about his career and background, covering his journey from being an apprentice in a glove factory to his time working on a building site, through to his signing of a million dollar contract for a forthcoming series of US shows. He also touches on his plans for the future, including his desire to develop his career along the lines of Frank Sinatra and act in films (although he apparently dislikes musicals), and the reason for his recent nose job.
