Could be worth a watch? BBC1 10.35pm tonight

<<< This cheerful canter through the history of girl groups comes from the people who made Queens of Disco, so there's the same mix of delicious clips and chats with those directly involved. Be My Baby follows the history of girl groups, from the Supremes and Sister Sledge, to Bananarama and the Spice Girls.

There are funny reminiscences, notably from that charming musical powerhouse, songwriter Nile Rodgers, who recalls the horror of the sweet, churchgoing Sledge sisters at the nature of some of the lyrics they were given.

And there's some gentle fun at the expense of Bananarama (who, I was staggered to learn, are the most charted girl group in pop history) and their eventual need to tackle "serious issues" in their songs. "They were never going to be the Smiths," remarks one wry commentator. >>>

Considering several ex Tipsheeters were involved (Mark Cooper; Jeff Simpson...) - terrible, terrible script (badly delivered by Claudia Winkleman), wrong groups, superficial examination, ghastly metaphors...
Bad, bad, bad!

Yes, I agree .... why is it that documentary makers never seem to actually do any research?

Bananarama - the most successful girl group ever??? Was I on holiday that week? I think the Supremes may have something to say about that !!!

I thought Bananananaramamama held the title and the Spice Girls took it from them.

Are you really saying that the Bananas were MORE successful that The Supremes?

Didn't the Supremes once told the title for the most No.1 hits in the USA (it was around 10 I think)?
