Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe discuss their final five studio albums released by Parlophone.

Another chance to hear a series first broadcast on Radio 2 in 2017, marking the 30th anniversary of Pet Shop Boys, in which Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe look back on their career.

As part of 6 Music Artist Collection, another chance to hear a series first broadcast on Radio 2 in 2017, marking the 30th anniversary of Pet Shop Boys, in which Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe talk to Miranda Sawyer.

In March 1986, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe released their debut album 'please'. Over the next thirty years, Pet Shop Boys would go on to sell more than 50-million records, including forty Top 20 singles and four UK number ones.

This 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, featuring a new and exclusive interview, Neil and Chris discuss their final five studio albums for Parlophone Records: 'Nightlife', 'Release', 'Fundamental', 'Yes', and 'Elysium'.

And Neil and Chris choose their personal favourite album tracks off each.
