Tiny Tim (Part 2) - Rise to Stardom

In Part 2 of the Tiny Tim story, we jump right back in as Tiny begins his climb to fame, performing in the gay bars of Greenwich village, New York, before landing his first record deal with Frank Sinatra's Reprise Records. We analyse Tiny's struggles with money, fame and women as Tiny becomes involved in a number of scandals that almost cost him his shot at the big time. We also take an in depth look into Tiny's first 3 studio albums including the classic, God Bless Tiny Tim, his iconic rendition of Tiptoe Through the Tulips, as well as his strange eating habits, his quirky and often inappropriate behaviour and his infamous marriage to the 17 year old Miss Vicki Budinger which controversially took place on national tv as millions around the USA and the world tuned in breaking viewership records.
