We’d also like to thank all of our collaborators and friends who appeared in it. It will be repeated on BBC4 on Friday evening as part of a Pet Shop Boys Night and is available now on the BBC iPlayer.
Pet Shop Boys Volume, the complete visual record of PSB from 1984 to 2024, is published by Thames & Hudson today.
