(bumping an old thread here, sorry :-P)
For some reason I have missed this whole performance on TV. I learned about it thanks to Chris and Graham's PSB podcast so I did a search online. Obviously, the videos are nowhere to be found anymore. Can anyone help me out here to find these TV broadcasts ...

Happy new year to you all

What’s the first Pet Shop Boys music you’ve played or going to play this year?

I know it divides us, but it’s a cracking set of tunes

16 when it was released and had not long started my first evening/Saturday job at WHSmith

I bought the vinyl on day of release and couldn’t wait to get home about 930pm to play it
I copied it onto tape for the Sony Walkman, and that tape was worn out by Christmas!

I wasn’t a fan of Actually upon ...

I will be buying it but it does piss me off a bit when we’ve forked out £££ throughout the year and they do a pre order the week before Christmas

It'd be great if they could get the Horn again...

But a collaboration with Brian Eno would be interesting too.


I believe they did do something very informal with Eno. Maybe a day or so, but for whatever reason it didn't work out. I can't recall where I read it now. Maybe an old literally or ...
