BBC Radio 2 in Britain (which gave “Miracles” its first play this morning) is broadcasting a two-part documentary about the history of the Pet Shop Boys enititled “Pet Shop Boys, really”. As well as interviews with Chris and Neil the documentary includes contributions from many others involved in the PSB story, including Richard Niles, Pete Gleadall, Chris Heath, Janet Street-Porter, Sam Taylor-Wood, Stephen Hague and Trevor Horn. Fellow musicians including Johnny Marr, Bernard Sumner, Andy Bell and Marc Almond are also interviewed. Excerpts from PSB unreleased demos are included. The documentary is presented by Jonathan Ross and the first part will be transmitted on Radio 2 on Saturday, October 25 from 9–10 pm. The second half will be transmitted a week later.
We are sad to hear that the distinguished British photographer Martin Parr, famous for his wryly distinctive images of everyday life, has died. In 2002 we asked him to direct the video for our song “London” and he made a short film which, in its combination of urban pathos and quirky London street life, was instantly recognisable as his work. We send our sincere condolences to his family and friends. Neil and Chris xx
