iPlayer only works in the UK. Grr!Obviously wrote:It says in the Sunday Times TV mag that NT is interviewed and is one of the more articulate contributors. Once broadcast, you can watch it again up to seven days later using the BBC's iplayer - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/. Just search 'pop britannia'. Handy for people unable to get regular BBC TV me thinks.
I think that's a mistake on the official site as it's Friday evening when they do their reviews etc on Newsnight...????Suburban_Boy wrote:Neil Tennant is interviewed tonight on Newsnight (BBC2 10.30 pm) discussing the new film of Stephen Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd".
Nope, just watched my recording of it from last night. He wasn't on for long, just giving his opinion that Johnny Depp was channelling David Bowie in the film and that he didn't think that the humour of the stage show really comes through on film.kennym wrote:I think that's a mistake on the official site as it's Friday evening when they do their reviews etc on Newsnight...????Suburban_Boy wrote:Neil Tennant is interviewed tonight on Newsnight (BBC2 10.30 pm) discussing the new film of Stephen Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd".

I want something like that here too.Thanks for posting! - This is on tonight.Drem wrote:29 february, 21:00, Channel 4: New Heroes of Comedy
Tonight's episode of New Heroes of Comedy takes a fascinating journey into the past, present and future of Matt Lucas and David Walliams. It wasn't always like this, years of obscurity and failure were endured before fame finally came knocking. But just how did two middle class suburban kids become so successful? With shared childhood experiences comprising everything from weight problems and dressing up to premature baldness, sexual identity issues and watching lots of Dick Emery, a chance meeting at the National Youth Theatre brought them together and created a lifelong friendship.
Tonight, in the second of C4's profile series, the duo's long road to fame is charted, along with contributions from friends, colleagues and admirers, including Bob Mortimer, Charlie Higson, Russell Brand, Alex James, The Pet Shop Boys and David Tennant.

It's a really lame "gay" cable channel that could be so much better. They'll take a 90 minute movie and stretch it to 3 hours, and pack it with so many ads and promos every ten minutes that I find it unwatchable. The rest of the programming is really unfunny standup comedy you're supposed to think funny because you're gay. uh no. Just mediocre.Riikka wrote:What type of channel is that?geowayne wrote:The U.S. "gay cable channel" Logo has just announced airtimes (subject to change, Eastern Standard Time, eastern cable feed) for Pet Shop Boys: A Life in Pop:

Actually, I like the documentaries and music videos that Logo airs. You get to see a lot of good stuff that other cable channels won't touch. But you're absolutely right about all the commercials. They do get rather annoying. The competing U.S. "gay cable channel," Here, being a "premium" channel (you have to pay more for it) avoids the commercials, but, with a few exceptions (such as some of the movies), I personally don't find the programming as interesting and enjoyable.Deschanel wrote:It's a really lame "gay" cable channel that could be so much better.

sourceThe South Bank Show‘s season continues with a profile of one of the most successful entertainers of the modern age, Liza Minnelli. Melvyn Bragg interviews Liza Minnelli at the London Coliseum as she prepares for her forthcoming UK tour, with exclusive footage filmed in Florida of the show she will be bringing to Britain, performing some of her most iconic songs.
The South Bank Show also examines Liza Minnelli's unique relationship with the British - she has influenced many of our performers from Freddy Mercury to punk and the Pet Shop Boys. She lived briefly on the Kings Road in London with her mother as a teenager and there is scintillating archive of their iconic performance together, in 1964 at the London Palladium.
