Answer 1

It was recorded by Channel 4.

What was good about it?

• Lots of great footage of the New Romantics taking themselves awfully seriously, even if many of them looked like clowns or drag acts plucked from working men's clubs
• Footage of people smoking on the Underground. Oh those were the days.
• The bitchiness and jealousy, especially between Boy George and Marilyn
• The rather tender and intelligent observations by Martin Kemp and Marc Almond on the drug problems experienced by Steve Strange and Boy George
• Steve Strange has still retained much of his beauty (although he needs to go a bit easier on the bronze slap) and seems to be in a much better mental state these days – the ravages of that £1500-a-week heroin habit seem to have receded now he's moved back to Wales.
• The beehivish hairstyle worn by Steve Strange's mother
• Robert Elms providing a level-headed analysis of the impact of "250 kids who changed the way we lived and looked and played and partied for ever."
• Philip Salon, the grand dame of the New Romantics, who would be a brilliant talk show host
• When Boy George was a cloakroom attendant at the Blitz club and he spotted someone wearing the same outfit two weeks running, he'd spit: "Oh, doing that one to death, aren't you darling?"
• Laughing at Marilyn who now looks like a 1970s wrestler crossed with Lizzie Bardsley.

What was bad about it?

• Crying at Marilyn who is now beset by mental health problems including agoraphobia
• The presentation of overblown statements about changing the world as fact
• The hair of pop pundit Rick Sky, so bouffant he's close to becoming a gender bender himself
• The rather sad we-know-what'll-happen next moment when Steve Strange journeyed to record a German TV show with Visage 2. "If there isn't any fans outside, Ill be quite surprised," he told the camera. There were none. It was also sad that Steve Strange, who pioneered the New Romantic movement, had profited least.
• Boy George looking dreadful – and this was recorded before those NYPD cops came a knocking.
• It was basically just a history of the New Romantic movement rather than gender Benders. There was no real exploration of why the protagonists wanted to look and behave like women.

Answer 2

in case you opt to be a information presenter, then a journalism diploma is a thank you to bypass, yet basically any previous presenter, properly, no longer all of them even have tiers, for a initiate, and in case you opt to recent shows on background, or technological information, or return and forth, then you definately want some thought approximately those issues, particularly than journalism. As for what college to do to, do no longer check out the place present day in call for people went, because of the fact a great style of them are from the technology the place you in user-friendly terms have been given onto the television by skill of going to oxbridge for a initiate. additionally, that's greater desirable to bypass to a uni because of the fact which you like it, particularly than because of the fact which you think of it is acceptable for what you opt to do interior the destiny (as i found out myself some years in the past). Any stable grade from a stable college will do. yet people not often bypass from uni to working for the BBC or ITV - you need to start on the backside, as with something, working for community/community television and radio and paintings your way up. they don't seem to be going to hire you with none previous adventure. yet to word, the two look for vacancies, or deliver in examples of your paintings to the correct people. as quickly as you have left uni and get a foothold interior the employer, you will start to learn who to attitude in case you opt to head up.
