BBC Radio 2 - pet shop boys, documentary, chart, part 1

Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe discuss their first six studio albums.

Graham Norton introduces a series celebrating Britain's most successful pop duo, in which Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe discuss their first six studio albums.

Following on from The Pet Shop Boys standing in on Iggy Pop's 6 Music show, another chance to hear a series first broadcast on Radio 2 in March, marking their 30th anniversary.
In March 1986, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe released their debut album 'please'.
The Pet Shop Boys would go on to sell more than 50-million records, including forty Top 20 singles and four UK number ones.
This special season of four documentaries charts the work of the most successful British music duo of all-time.
In later programmes, we'll be looking at how Neil and Chris have contrasted their success in mainstream music with acclaimed works for ballet, opera and musical theatre.
And, as the Pet Shop Boys release of a brand new album, we'll be asking how they've continued to walk a tightrope between pop and art, silliness and profundity.
But first, it's back to the beginning and their inventive and influential albums released on the iconic British label Parlophone.
In this programme, the Pet Shop Boys discuss 'Please', 'Actually', 'Introspective', 'Behaviour', 'Very' and 'Bilingual'. And Neil and Chris choose their personal favourite album tracks off each.
Introduced by Graham Norton.
Written and produced by Malcolm Prince.
