20 years compressed into 2 hours!, 25 November 2006
6/10
Author: Gordon-11 from Hong Kong

This is a documentary about the career of the British group the Pet Shop Boys.

It had a lot of interviews with other people close to the Pet Shop Boys. This made the documentary more all rounded.

In the beginning, I was very impressed by the comprehensive account of their childhood and their early career. The first four albums were covered in detail. I learnt a lot about them that I did not know. However, the recent albums were rushed through. Only a few minutes were spent on "Bilingual" and "Nightlife". "Pop Art" was left out altogether. I found this particularly disappointing. I was hoping, for example, to know about the collaboration with Kylie Minogue, but this was not covered.

Still, it was an impressive documentary compressing 20 years into 2 hours.
