At 8.30 pm tonight, Saturday March 29th, Sky Arts will broadcast a new documentary “Discovering: Pet Shop Boys” which explores “the 30-year success of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe’s synth-pop band, including their most influential albums, wittiest lyrics and most theatrical videos.” It is followed at 9 pm by “Pet Shop Boys — Live at the O2”, a 60-minute film of the 2009 Pandemonium tour production. Both programmes will be shown again over the next few days.
Pet Shop Boys are happy to reveal a special signed and numbered seven-inch vinyl of “Hymn (In memoriam Alexei Navalny)”, which is released today.
