In fact PSB tied up against their will could be a euphemism for the detainees at Guantanemo...but I could be stretching things there...
Yes, I noted that. It was probably intentional. The original costumes are red in the Can you forgive her? vid.

I thought the *original* costumes for Can you forgive her? were red. I must be slightly colour blind.

In any case I still think the prisoner analogy is intentional. :)

Drico One.. stated the case that it's a homage to PSB .

This is a PSB video in which the PSBs are to be celebrated. Walliams is a fan - as proven by his embarrassing but fascinating car crash style infatuation during Liberation's Top of the Pops performance in 1994 - and is obviously living a fan's dream in creating a pastiche of classic PSB iconography. There's something touching about that. Add to the fact that he's an up and coming celebrity, his eager willingness to recreate the PSB world in his own comic style is heart-warming and hugely complementary to the influence of Tennant and Lowe.

Believe me, he says "We have become "Pet Shop Boys". Would it honestly make any sense for him to say Pet Shop Boy? Put on headphones, and you will clearly hear the "s".

There is no SSSSSS look at the Hat, 6 sets of Ears have just played this on 5.1 dolby sound and there is no S ...
Any way... I'm Chris Lowe ..I'm the other One ...

As Chris says pure T4 how come we are not Number One..

I do not care if you have dolby 21.7 sound. There is an "s". Put on headphones.

I see Matt's hat. The hat even if it says Boy on it, means nothing. Chris' hat during that period of time said "Boy" The S is there. Even if you hear it, you will not admit to it anyway. Why am I even discussing such a trivial issue? This site never fails to totally make issues out of nothing.

I will accept that the two of you can not hear it, but it is there.

S=yes.

If I did not hear an S, I would not even be having this absolutely ridiculous discussion.

=) Well considering Eldritch's fantastic interview, seeing that Neil does read the boards, we at least supplied him with yet another discussion to smash his head against the desk about as he tweets a high pitched laugh as a companion piece.

I love the Pets and I love Lucas and Walliams so this is all rather fabulous for Dipso. David`s comedy teeth are a bit worrying, mind.
Prick up your ears.
