Title: BBC2 Tonight
Post by: bigbaldbloke on May 16, 2010, 19:42:57 PM

Bit of an 80s fest:

9pm Worried About The Boy; a "compassionate portrait" of Boy George.

10.30 Girls and Boys: Sex and British Pop; "Four-part documentary series that tells the story of British pop music and our changing attitudes to sex, gender and sexuality. The 1980s was the decade of flamboyant pop in a politically-divided Britain, as New Romantics like Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran set the tone. Disco hit the mainstream and then a new disease changed the rules. By the late 80s Britain's sense of masculinity had taken a hammering and it was girls on top." Good chance of AatA on there?

11.30 Heaven 17 Live in Concert; performing Penthouse and Pavement in march this year.

12.30 Young Guns Go For It; Soft Cell star in this programme about Eighties pop. Drink, drugs, break-ups and breakdowns rewarded Marc Almond and Dave Ball after they conquered the world with Tainted Love. The duo remember the hits and splits.

Enjoyed the Boy George programme - very good acting by Douglas (forgotten his surname, sorry)


Watched "A Royal Wedding" last night.  Wasn't impressed.  Very similar to something shown years ago called (I think), "Worcester Gardens", which had a very similar theme to it - illicit relationship and arguing neighbours, all centered around a street party to celebrate the Royal Wedding
