Peter Kay starred as solo artist ''Geraldine McQueen'', a contestant. [[Jo Enright]], [[Karl Lucas]], David Hulston and Sian Foulkes performed as a band ''2 Up 2 Down'', in which the two women were wheelchair users and Marc Pickering played ''R Wayne'' another solo artist.<ref name="mail" />

The two hour final exhibited various acts that did not make the final, and the three finalists' journeys on the show. It revealed their sob stories and the fact that sob stories were the driving force behind which contestants got through to the final. Geraldine McQueen had gone through sexual reassignment surgery and 2 Up 2 Down have had a multitude of bad experiences. R Wayne was originally eliminated at bootcamp for not having a good enough sob story but was brought back into the show after his grandmother (R Gran) died from a heart attack from the news of his elimination. Later on in the show, a notable character from the first series of [[Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights]], Psychic Clinton Baptiste, revealed that R Gran was attending a pub quiz in heaven with [[Thora Hird]] and [[Heath Ledger]].
