Pet Shop Boys
Often sublime, occasionally ridiculous, never boring; the Pet Shop Boys sit down with Dermot O'Leary to watch back the twists and turns of a career like no other.
Since forming in 1981, the Pet Shop Boys have become one of the best-selling, most enduring artists the world has ever seen. With three Outstanding Contribution to Music Awards and a Godlike Genius Award to their name already, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe are music titans - but music titans full of paradoxes.
Of pop culture yet outside pop culture, commercial giants yet eternally contrary, and artistic innovators but consistent hitmakers, the Pet Shop Boys have led a rebellion against convention for over 40 years, and here they relive every moment.
Take That
Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen join Dermot O'Leary at a cinema to look back at clips of their career, watching back key performances, events and moments from the past 30 years. Home video footage shows them performing in school assemblies and in forgotten TV performances as they grafted for two years before their breakthrough hit It Only Takes a Minute. They reflect on what followed after their meteoric rise, the chaotic success of the 1990s, from the epic highs and adulation of their initial fame to the darker side of success, as well as the departure of Robbie Williams in 1995.
