Out Now on DVD is the TV movie of the year! Worried About The Boy!

 

It’s so good that you can practically smell the hair spray and feel the sweat slide down your Pan-stuck cheeks as you head towards the dance floor.” - The Times

What's the DVD got for me?

Well there are a few good things about owning this DVD. One is for the behind the scenes footage of the film. This is really amazing to watch. It has about a running time of 10 minutes. Features interviews with all the cast members and the director. It looks really cold outside because they are all wearing coats.There is a Chapter menu that allows you to go to your favorite scene there are 6 chapters to view. The video quality is amazing its in Dolby HD with 2.0 surround sound. This is an edited version prior to the original broadcast version. One bad thing is that 3 minutes were cut from the actual film from the original broadcast. The scene after George meets Mikey Craig in the bar is a scene that follows after it were George is in his bedroom painting his nails and he hears 'Fade to Gray' come on the radio, he instantly wants to turn it off but cant because his nails are wet, he accidentily  turns up the volume and is in disbelief that Steve Strange has made it on the radio.

Starting off at Essex Green Middle School when a careers officer asks him what he’s better at than anything else, there’s a tangible pause before George gives the obvious answer.” Makeup” I’m good at makeup!”  Next were taken to leaving the London suburbs in 1980 for squatting in London where George meets his best friend Marilyn. They soon all become a fixture at the infamous Blitz Club – the favorite haunt of those at the forefront of the New Romantic movement.
