BBC New Romantics Special & The Human League

Postby Sean » Tue Apr 26, 2005 7:22 am

Has anyone else on here seen this show? It's incredible from start to finish. The whole story behind the New Romantics including Visage, Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, The Blitz Club, Camden Palace, and more. It's just as good as the BBC Special on Band Aid, if not better.

I also have the BBC Special Documentary on The Human League. I have new respect for Phil Oakey and his gang. He appears extremely humble and professional throughout the documentary. It's great to see him and the Heaven 17 guys sit and discuss what happened to the band. Strangely enough, he's the quietest of the three. It would have never guessed that.

Sean,

Where would I see this or how could I obtain a copy? Keep in mind I'm in the US.

Not that I've seen this either, but you may want to check out a DVD released in the U.K a few years ago called "Made in Sheffield"

Hi Rick,

These were recordings from the UK and are not commercially available. I was just fortunate enough to have a friend that sends these to me. I'm in the US too and I know we never get stuff like this on US tv stations.

In case you're interested you can order "Made In Sheffield" from http://www.sheffieldvision.com/. It's a region 0 disc and plays on ntsc TVs and can be paid for through PayPal. "Made In Sheffield" focuses specifically on Sheffield bands (duh) between abou
