Episodes
Duran Duran: There's Something You Should Know
This documentary features Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor - with archive footage of Andy Taylor - opening up about their extraordinary career, talking more candidly than ever before about the highs and lows they have endured together since they formed in Birmingham in 1978.
Charting their trajectory since they formed, the story is told through seven of their 14 groundbreaking albums - each one uncovering a compelling chapter in the band's journey: the fame, the fortune, the meltdowns, the hits, the misses, the iconic videos, the tours, the fans, the partying and the supermodels. With intimate access to each band member, and previously unseen archive footage, the documentary reveals how their meteoric rise to fame at such a young age affected each of them - and how they have reclaimed their seat at the table with rock royalty.
It is a story of survival. Four decades on and the band are still getting Top 10 hits. The film looks at how they survived this incredible journey and how they still compete in today's cut-throat pop business. It includes contributions from Cindy Crawford, Boy George, Mark Ronson, Nile Rodgers, Antony Price, Russell Mulcahy, Nick Egan and many more.
Duran Duran: A Night In
In this documentary viewers join Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor as they sit back to watch and talk through personally-selected clips of archive television, music shows, movies, performances, adverts and children's shows that have inspired them across their career.
Taylor and his three bandmates took great pains in selecting choice cuts from the archives that would best represent their experiences and interests growing up. And in an exclusive interview, they discuss their influences from the worlds of film and art, referencing Blade Runner, Andy Warhol and Tomorrow's World, and ranging from Barbarella in ‘68 to Patti Smith's Horses in '76, David Bailey on Andy Warhol in ‘73 to Prince's Kiss in '86 and Roxy Music's Virginia Plain in ‘72 to Midnight Express in ‘78.
A Night In is a trip down memory lane with the band as they remember the shows that capture a particular moment in their creative lives. There's even a moment for Roobarb And Custard!
