robbiex	Having now watched the second half of the programme on sky+, I have to say that it improved a lot. The recreation of George's 1982 totp performance was excellent. However there were more omissions and inaccuracies: George reacted to Visage's single on the radio as if it was the first time he heard it, with a caption of 1981, when in fact the single was released in 1980. Where was Phillip Sallon, apparently he was Georges best friend during those new Romantic years, yet no sign of him here. Still well worth watching, but ended a bit prematurely.
Chris Retro	I thought the way it kept jumping forward into 1986 and then back again made the whole thing somewhat disjointed. An excellent visual likeness to George - but voice-wise nothing like him. George has never talked like Jon Ronson! That marred the show a bit for me because if he had spoken like a mincer his social impact would have not been as great (and he would have certainly been a lot less appealing to 'straight' men), but he was what he was and didn't need to adopt any such mannerisms.
DJones	The Soft-Cell-Documentary is from 2000.

Actually I think it was almost 10 years ago. It was definitely before their reunion, which was 2001-2003. I would be mildly interested in seeing the Human League one again but not even faintly interested in Spandau Ballet or the Bananas
