A celebration of the finest performances and appearances by the New Romantic sensations on the BBC. They came out of Birmingham in the early 80s, took over the world, and helped define the look and sound of an entire decade. Then, through constant reinvention, they kept themselves relevant even to this day. \n\nAlthough pioneers of the pop video age, this collection of hits and rarities – from Planet Earth to Ordinary World and beyond - captures the impact and excitement of their music on a huge selection of BBC shows, from the Old Grey Whistle Test to Wogan and, of course, Top of the Pops.
