A documaentary about me, say and my job in school and cosy CP with a lovely wife and our middle-class gardens isn't really going to hold an audience, is it? crikey, pete, Boy George is great fun, with a great story and I, for one will be looking forward to seeing this … more than a tale about some strsight pop-star …

Huh!? for one, I don't remember any like that, and secondly, art imitates life. Who want's to see a drama about a boring person, gay or otherwise? So they got that bloke from 'Gavin & Stacey'? I never knew George was THAT fat. ;) “I suspect it will be an angst-filled, drug-fuelled Drama once again showing a handful of people as representing the entire LGBT community.”

It is an excellent book which vividly evokes his life and the atmosphere of the time. I'm looking forward to this film. I read George’s autobigraphy ‘Take it like a man’.

I suspect it will be an angst-filled, drug-fuelled Drama once again showing a handfull of people as representing the entire LGBT community. I do so wish we could have a broad range of 'role models' on TV.....

Certainly for me at least as I was a kid throughout the 80s and fondly remember watching him on TV shows, including Saturday morning kids TV. Only thing, is if they are making a biopic of his life, then I really think they should include at least some story about his life since the 80s. Otherwise it will finish on an upbeat note, which hasn't been the story of his life at all. I’d be keen to see this, because like him or not, Boy George & Culture Club were a big part of 80s culture.
