Looks great though

I see Chris stayed there tho.

Hello! Last nights (Wednesday) ITV1 "Pop Gold" Pet Shop Boys were on it with West End Girls live at some "Euro" thingy. You may be able to still see it through the ITV player.

Sounds of the Eighties
BBC4 HD 1st May
7:30pm - 8:00pm (30mins)
4/8. Depeche Mode, the Human League, Yazoo, Soft Cell, New Order, Bronski Beat, Pet Shop Boys and Erasure are among the featured artists in another slice of 80s nostalgia

For The fans of Polly and Sophie (twin dancers/singers of the Pandy tour). They were on a new Tattoo programme on E4 last night (Tuesday). They both had a Tattoo of their Grandad who was a boxer. It made us laugh here as one of the twins said "are you going to put some numbing cream on?" to the Tattooist's! lol.....

Don't know how they have got so many Tattoo's as it looks like they don't take them too well

Originally broadcast to mark the 20th anniversary of Andy Warhol's death, Neil Tennant highlights the impact Warhol had, not just on artists, but also on musicians.

So it's from 2007.

Mildly interesting, I suspect this documentary inspired the "Gerhard Richter hanging on your wall" of Love Etc since Neil must have been writing the song
around the time, and the lyrics were originally "Andy Warhol hanging on your wall".
Neil said it was Andy Warhol since it rhymes with wall, I notice one of the songs in the documentary uses the same words to rhyme. (Bowie's 'Andy Warhol')
I forgot why it was changed to Gerhard Richter, but that is beside the point.

I noticed the broadcast will soon be deleted from the site, so here's a download link if anyone is interested.

Hello! I recorded and now playing through "Ultimate covers at the BBC" BBC4 11.00pm Saturday. I think PSB's will feature in it at some point as you can see Neil singing (at the begining of the titles).

Dermot O'Leary just played It's a Sin on his BBC Radio 2 show and announced that Neil Tennant will be his guest in February to talk about Smash Hits. I think this might be a feature Dermot does whereby he digs out the old answers a pop star gave to some Smash Hits interview questions back in the day (e.g. "who was your first crush?") and asks them the same questions today to see how their answers compare.

On Radio 6 NOW

Just been a short interview on Radio 2, Ken Bruce. Should be around 1.40 in on listen again
