Roy "Chubby" Brown spoke about his New Faces experience in his 2006 autobiography "Common as muck!: my autobiography".
Among his recollections were the nature of his act, including his rehearsal, which Brown stated was the same as his TV performance, but with the joke about the Bible removed by request:
"I played the piano and told a few jokes. "You know, we were that poor where I grew up, I once opened the oven and next door was dipping their bread in the gravy,' I said. 'Christmas Eve, we'd all sit around the fire. If it got really cold, we'd light it...and then we'd get the Bible out. You know, a big thick book like that burns for three hours.'"
As Brown had recently been developing his "blue" act, he decided to go ahead with becoming a "blue" comedian after New Faces didn't work out for him. He did, however, suggest that he came second:
"All the panel, which also included Mickie Most and Dave Dee, gave me good scores, but at the end of the show I was pipped to the post by a country band called Poacher that went on to win at the Country Music Awards and become a big name."
