A friend of mine holidayed with Chris in Ibiza in the late 90's. He (Chris) is not straight.

I would love to hear more about this!

There isn't too much to tell. They shared a villa, and Chris had a boyfriend (or, at the very least, a 'love interest') with him. He (Chris) was very friendly, although my friend at the time was concerned about how much coke he was taking - cigarette sized lines at 9am. But then again, it is Ibiza.

What do you mean by "shared a villa", "holidayed with" and also the drug thing needs more explanation?
Things like these aren't just stuff one blurs out in a forum like this. We need more info.

I’d prefer fewer details. Let the private stay private.

this is one of the best documentaries on them, that i've seen.

i think every fan should watch it.

i like the interaction between them, and all the details, facts, and jokes.

very well done.

thanks to all those that are sharing it with the fans here in the US.

i've converted it to a smaller MP4 if anyone needs a link.

Agree. I thought it was very good and one of the best.

i'm going to have to watch this a few more times, just to take everything in.


its funny that neil gets human league - don't you want me, with the wrong title.
(there is no baby at the end of it).

i love seeing them discuss their influences, and then getting to work with david bowie,
dusty springfield etc.

chris is very funny, and we finally get to hear a lot of his opinions about thing.

--

i like how neil isn't too embarrassed about how he sounded in the early days.

and he makes fun of his voice a lot.

if only we could get to hear more of the demos, it sounds like chris hasn't heard all of them either.

My favourite parts :

Neil reading the lyrics.

This inspired me to finally buy his lyrics and a poem book. Just arrived today.

It's only worth it because of his comments to each song and the preface.

Anyway, Neil deserves the Nobel prize in literature.

By the way, James Ford totally looks like Mark Ruffalo.

He wishes! I'm not even gay/Chris but Ruffalo is hot AF.

This was a fascinating watch, and how lovely it is to see how well the two of them still get on together. I'm surprised there wasn't more footage from their actual chat with Alan Yentob, when the three of them were sat in that big empty room. There must have been a lot more content that never made it.

I'd not seen Farrow before (the man himself). It would be fascinating to watch a doc about him and his work with PSB over the years.

I'm surprised an opportunity wasn't taken to put this out as an audio book, it would have sold well to fans.

I thought it was excellent, just enough 'Botney' and his facial expressions said a lot! I was in floods when Neil read out Being Boring and the closing montage made me a bit teary as well. Agree a longer chat with Farrow would be fascinating.
