In 1984, Band Aid spawned one of the biggest selling singles of all time, Do They Know It's Christmas?, and a live charity concert on an unprecedented scale. With its instigator Bob Geldof at the helm, this light-hearted documentary follows the fortunes of some of those involved, including Sting, the Kemp brothers from Spandau Ballet and Boy George. Contains strong language.

What do Bob Geldof, Sting, Boy George and the Spandau Ballet brothers Gary and Martin Kemp have in common, apart from being musicians? If you were only even half awake in 1984, you'll know the answer because these five (along with almost anyone who was anyone in the music business at the time) made Do They Know It's Christmas?, the biggest-selling single of the 1980s.
It all started when, as a result of seeing a BBC report on the famine in Ethiopia, Geldof badgered 36 singers to join him in a London recording studio and make a single to raise funds to help the situation in Africa. "Saint Bob's" career has been well documented since then (let's face it, if he'd just stuck with the Boomtown Rats we'd all have forgotten about him by now), as have the ups and downs of the other featured artists, although in truth Boy George is the only other one to experience some real "downs". Can you recall anything really bad happening to Sting?
The format is familiar and the subject interesting, but we can't help wondering why the producers chose to feature Sting rather than Midge Ure, who co-wrote the single and without whom, according to Geldof, neither Band Aid nor Live Aid could have happened. (Jane Rackham)
