Duran Duran: There's Something You Should Know

It's a hefty task to cover almost 40 years of ups and down and history in a short hour but this doc covers the basics nicely.

An interesting segment had Simon visiting the old church where he sang in the choir, discussing how 4 years of choral singing helped his development. And when this confident young vocalist met three young musicians at Birmingham's New Romance nite club it was a match made in chart-topping heaven.

As for omissions, there was no discussion of the band's name - based on the villain from sexy space romp Barbarella - or its major hit Bond title View to a Kill (probably due to copyright issues with EON). In addition, content totally focused on the band's career with no discussion of individual private lives - except for the fact they generally had a pretty good time.

Duran-Duran endured because they were great tune-smiths who always seemed to find new hits to stay relevant in new decades. Looking back it was revealing to see how much the UK's music press dismissed them for their glamour - and how little that mattered to the band's global success.
