New BBC 'imagine...' documentary on Pet Shop Boys confirmed for Spring 2024

Has any eagle eyed viewer managed to see what the demo tracks were called on those cassettes (besides the known ones)? Think I’ve clocked something like; “I’ve got plans…”, “…secret”, “…to dance”, “You got love” including a dub mix.

Absolutely brilliant documentary! They should really do a demo compilation for the next Annually, what a treat. And the snippets of Nonetheless songs make the album seem bloody brilliant. What a time to be a fan. May they live forever!

PSB night on BBC4 this Friday. A perfect opportunity to show The Most Incredible Thing. It's only ever been shown once, back in 2011 on BBC2. However, we're just getting the Reel Stories repeat, Imagine repeat and "PSB at the BBC" that also a repeat

Any timestamps for when new music plays in the movie? Don't wanna spoil too much looking for it, have prepared a grand sitdown for this evening to watch it properly.

The segment about the execution of the two Iranian boys was completely unexpected, incredibly moving and powerful.

The entire programme was an utter joy to watch. This must surely now rank as the definitive Pet Shop Boys documentary.

I slept only 4 hours today, and in the morning at 6.30 I went to unload building materials to the dacha, but the program was just delightful. How amazing the presentation of the material, everything is professional and heartfelt. The editing and sound. They're good. Helsinki is an incredible fit for them by the way, they will be in Finland again this year, but it's unlikely I'll be able to see them. The borders are closed and times are tough.

Advice to forum members how to find links to TV broadcasts. Use different search engines, for example Google will not show you all the links, but Yandex shows something else, there I found the broadcast.

The electro bit that starts at 15:45 - is probably Why am I dancing? the lyric is 'I will never let you down; I will (stay?)'
New London boy bit starts at 16:40
At 28:45 - I'm convinced that 'lounge music' instrumental is them, and that it is The secret of happiness.. the rhythm track sounds like them, and not like a 60s piece...
And at 1:24:05 - I bet those strings are the very end of the album - the outro for Love is the law?

I think the strings from the end comes from London Boy.

Thank you, all sounding very promising - can't believe it's only a few more days now!

Early on around 7 mins in...

Could be 'I've Got Plans Involving You' - I'm sure that was an unused / unreleased track...maybe planned for Dusty / Liza maybe mentioned in Literally...

I could also perhaps see 'It's Not A Crime' / 'It's A Sin' / 'A Man Could Get Arrested' / 'Not' or 'Hot To Dance' / 'It's As Secret' some are repeated so maybe another go / session / version.

Really enjoyed the documentary. They are always such an interesting interview. Thanks to those that shared it for those of us that could not see it live.

I could spend hours watching them playing and commenting their old demos.
All in all, lovely documentary.

Lovely, heartwarming and just further strengthens my love and admiration for them as artists and people.
