Worried about the boy..

.. the drama last night on the Beeb about the early days of Boy George.
Very well acted by the lead, Douglas Booth is it?
I thought it'd be a bit naff - but thoroughly enjoyed it.

The actor who played Malcolm McClaren was absoslutely superb. I stayed up afterwards watching all the great music programs on BBC2 and really enjoyed them. A great evening's viewing. Went to bed at 1.00am to a snoring Mr LL.

I recorded it as I was not sure if I`d enjoy it or not.Started watching it at 9:30 & watched it all. Brilliant !!!!

Yes he was lottie - and so lifelike (well, when he was alive.....!!)

[zzxxee]

i enjoyed it but had to switch over when the telephone box shagging scene was on

Ha!! My BF had to go out the room. He hates anything like that. I think he has issues.....

I thought it was hilarious, the one at the 'back' saying "I'm not really a homesexual" and Boy George, dressed as a nun, replying "That's ok, I'm not really a nun...."
Priceless.

I enjoyed it - except that George was rather more his 'image' than what he looked like.

I interviewed George, and Kirk Brandon about twelve months after this was set.

George was / is much bigger than Douglas Booth, he's about six foot one, and a really well-built bloke - wide chest and shoulders, big hands and a big bottom. he has a much bigger nose that Douglas, who was very pretty. That said, George has the most beuatiful luminous green eyes, while Douglas' eyes are brown.

Kirk Brandon was, by contrast, far skinnier and smaller than the actor who played him. He also talks with a far stronger sarf-London accent, and he has really sticky-out ears.

That said, it was a drama, and a very good one - very evocotive of the times and the styles - although very little of the 'cult with no name' made it north of Watford!
