Tonight on BBC4 at 10pm 'Classic Albums - Rio' followed by documentary 'Wild Boys the Duran Duran Story'.

Yes it's time to dust off your pedal pushers, apply that green eyeliner (was that just me?) and flick your hair! Swoon over John Taylor in that white suit and trilby (don't forget to roll up the sleeves!), pant to Hungry like the Wolf and smooch along to Save a Prayer!!

Am going to get out my Rio CD and play in the car to get me in the mood. I think you will find it is still a great pop album!

Yes I am old and I do need to get out more!

To get you in the mood!

I loved DD too and I know these progs would take me back to the days when I KNEW I would marry JT one day () but I don't think I'll get to watch them

Lizzylou · 13/11/2009 16:53

I was so going to marry Simon Le Bon, until that beautiful supermodel Yasmin nabbed him

These days, have to say I am glad I didn't......

I will be in bed by then, but will record.

Thanks!

Mammina · 13/11/2009 19:39

oooh thank you pp.
john was always the one for me too ahhh

Saltire · 13/11/2009 19:43

Hmm decision time - do i watch that and drool over John taylor or watch the idiot that is jonathan Ross and drool over Gerry Butler

youcantlabelme · 13/11/2009 20:07

Oh, I loved John Taylor too.

I recently read Andy Taylor's autobiograpghy and also another Duran 'uncovered' book, whick kind of shook my opinions slightly of the him and the band, but hey I knew they were no angels!!

He has still got 'it' even after all these years.

giddykipper · 13/11/2009 20:10

I was going to marry Nick Rhodes.

See there was someone for everyone.

TheCrackFox · 13/11/2009 20:11

I was going to marray Simon Le Bon too. Poor Yasmin she is still stunning whilst Simon is well past his prime. Sigh.

Mammina · 13/11/2009 20:18

damn we have visitors coming round shortly - are bbc4 programs on the iplayer so that i can watch it tomorrow?

duckyfuzz · 13/11/2009 20:23

thanks purple princess, I'd have missed it otherwise

Feenie · 13/11/2009 20:25

John Taylor has soooo not got it now - I adored him, but he has definitely not aged well. He looks like Clive Anderson, ffs!

purpleprincess · 13/11/2009 20:27

Glad I am not alone!!

'Some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise!'

Migola - I presume it will be on IPlayer?? Can you record it?

Enjoy!

Feenie - I have to disagree with you, I think he stil has it!

liath · 13/11/2009 21:34

I saw them live this summer. Awesome. Although Simon Le Bon is clearly in no doubt that he still Has It, judging by all the crotch-thrusting anyway.

astragirl · 14/11/2009 08:33

Bollox, I missed it I love DD

astragirl · 14/11/2009 08:36

Yay, it's on BBC Iplayer, so am gonna watch it now

giddykipper · 15/11/2009 09:39

Just watched it on Sky+. In retrospect, they weren't the prettiest bunch were they.

RnB · 15/11/2009 14:15

my friend supplied a lot of the orignal photos for this. Will have to watch iplayer tonight!

Mammina · 15/11/2009 18:32

am watching it now - it's bringing back so many memories. I'd never have thought I'd be saying this 25 years ago (eek is it really 25?!) but Roger is looking really good now
never got to go and see them as a teenager (my mum wouldn't let me ) but saw them a few years back with my fellow durannie at that time and they were fantastic

walkthedinosaur · 15/11/2009 18:44

I missed it and don't have access to Iplayer, I think I'm going to cry.

Simon Le Bon was the one for me, have also recently read Andy Taylor's book, do you know I really though they were clean living boys, how naive was I.

They are really great live too. Oh I can't believe I missed this. I've come over all 14 again.

giddykipper · 15/11/2009 18:55

Any idea why Andy wasn't on the programme? Have they fallen out?
