She’s broken records and won every award going, and as Adele’s latest album is conquering the charts across the world, the programme looks into the BBC’s archives to look at how it all started for one of the 21st century's biggest music stars. As well as delivering the chance to enjoy all her biggest hits once again, this is an opportunity to explore and savour Adele's early performances on a selection of programmes, dating back to her first TV appearance, singing Daydreamer on Later... with Jools Holland in the summer of 2007 - a debut that announced a new star was born.
