In the year 2000 pop princess Kylie pulled off one of music’s most triumphant ever comebacks. Just as it looked as if the Aussie showgirl career was on the scrapheap, Kylie confounded her critics by returning to the top of the charts in both the UK and her home country.

So just had did she pull off such a momentous comeback? What’s the story behind the songs on Light Years such as Spinning Around? Does Paula Abdul ever regret giving it away? Who originally sang ‘On a Night Like This' and album track ‘I’m so high?’ Why didn’t ‘Your Disco needs You’ get released as a single in the UK & Australia and how did Guy Chambers feel about it? This mini-documentary explores these questions and more.
