Pet Shop Boys - Reel Stories - BBC Two (20/05/2023)

Often sublime, occasionally ridiculous, never boring; Pet Shop Boys sit down with Dermot O’Leary to watch back the twists and turns of a career like no other.

Since forming in 1981, Pet Shop Boys have become one of the best-selling, most enduring artists the world has ever seen. With three Outstanding Contribution to Music Awards and a Godlike Genius Award to their name already, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe are music titans - but music titans full of paradoxes.

Of pop culture yet outside pop culture, commercial giants yet eternally contrary, and artistic innovators but consistent
hitmakers, Pet Shop Boys have led a rebellion against convention since 1981, and here they relive every moment.

One of the best interviews they've ever done, insightful, moving, interesting and not the same old same old. I teared up seeing Neil so overcome with emotion during the Dusty bit. Also some nice insights from Chris, particularly about the London club scene of the early 80s. Thanks so much for uploading it. Long live PSB!

That could have gone for another 3 hours and it still would have been amazing. Can’t wait for the new album

[fabien.boussat]

I love the way Chris Lowe still protects himself to this day. " I'm just a surface, really. No-one is to look inside because there is nothing to see."
Both guys are very interesting and their music is very moving . And joyful. Then moving. Then Disco :-)

Thank you Pet shop boys for being throughout my life. Every album and single it is a stage on my life.

I do not want to imagine how different would this world have been without PSB. I am almost 50 now and i have listened them since the very beginning.

Neil and Dusty brought a tear to my eyes xx

Pet Shop Boys fantastic saw them in Liverpool in M&S Arena in June 2023. Neil voice stronger than ever. Phenomenal due Neil and Chris Lowe. True music iconoclasts

I didn't think I was a Pet shop boys fan but it turns out I am.
Some great tunes over the years, I've realised they are musical geniuses.
Also Dermott is a great interviewer

[brumman]

Brilliant but could of been so much longer, Neil is a legend, could listen to him talk all day long, ❤

[emaisabelb]

Loved every minute. Still relevant as ever. Still love them for 40 years.

[danielarivero]

Thank you for think on fans that are not in UK 🤗🤗🤗

[MichaelBennett]

I’d happily spend the rest of my life listening to Neil talking about (anything).

[yugeno]

Wow, great interview. The idea of a 16 year old Neil reinventing rock music is absolutely fascinating.

[mtmt]

Neil looked so STAR STRUCK watching Dusty Springfield's footage!
Neil acknowledged the Performance Tour was hemorrhaging money.... But so worth it. Amazing theatrics never seen before nor after!

[dewey]

Very entertaining. It's also nice to have an interviewer who meshes well with the guest and doesn't try to out-perform them.

[maddiegrant]

How gorgeous is Neil tearing up over Dusty Springfield.
