Do you know where I can see opinions of Little Britain fans, I think it would be interesting to know what they think about the vid.

No, that did not happen in my office. They do know nothing about Little Britain and this may be the first or second time when they see a PSB video except dreary mices that rotated for months in a local channel. But they liked it very much; at certain points where the Neil character points out to Chris to strike a key and Neil character opens his mouth down to the throat the way Neil sings, they were sprawled over their desks, laughing like a crazy. Besides, they asked me to bring Can you forgive her? and Go West videos to have a better understanding of the parodies so I am taking PopArt to the office tomorrow. One of them even asked me about its price, he is seriously considering to buy it.
Personally, I think the video is simply brilliant. I can't help but burst out laughing when that ostrich runs through the screen and when Chris looks sideways...
That's awesome, one nil :lol:
I didn´t remember that Neil´s authority gesture either when singing. I love it when he imitates preaching Neil with the hand, like giving you a lesson when singing :lol: :lol:

"It´s fundamental that we do only exist in our own universe. When you like Pet Shop Boys, you are in our world. This is absolutely crucial to our entire outlook...what we do has an incredibly strong identity and applies only to us. It´s a case of not recognising the existence of anybody else!". Neil Tennant.

I enjoyed the interpretation that Channel 4 subtitles did "Aah, and we're stupid", and "Love crawls". They did correct it later.

In my opinion he says this:

"Must I, Neil Tennant, spent the rest of my days in this petshop?
No,
because I have just met Chris Low,
the .....? of electronic music.
Hit it, Chris!
We have become Pet Shop Boys."

My first thoughts on this:

I agree with whomever said it is 'sad'. The whole video and indeed the song in this context strikes me as very dark and it comes across as a strong resemblance to something Twenty years on that would have fit perfectly into It Couldn't Happen Here.

Has no-one noticed that they are wearing Guantanamo Bay style outfits?

Sure it is a tie in to the orange Can You Forgive Her outfits but isn't this also a reference to their displeasure towards George Bush in typically PSB subtlety?

In fact PSB tied up against their will could be a euphemism for the detainees at Guantanemo...but I could be stretching things there...
