Forty years on from the release of the hit single by charity supergroup Band Aid, this documentary unearths 75 minutes of rare and previously unseen film footage from the day of recording

Bananarama are the girl group with more chart entries than any other in the world, and now they are getting the ‘at the BBC’ treatment with this collection of performances from the BBC archives, featuring many of the 25 Top 40 singles they released over their career. It’s a selection that covers those early days when Fun Boy Three first introduced pop fans to the original line-up of Keren Woodward, Sara Dallin and Siobhan Fahey, as well as the end of the 1980s when Siobhan left and was replaced by Jacquie O’Sullivan. We also bring things right up to date and feature the band’s current status as a duo, with Sara and Keren keeping the flame alive. Over all those years, Bananarama have never claimed to be the greatest singers or dancers, but together they somehow still created pop magic – so fans, settle back and witness how their durability proves beyond doubt that It Ain’t What You Do, it’s the Way That You Do It.

They were the girl group that defined the 80s. After a near 30 year absence since their last performance, Sara, Keren and Siobhan reunited last year for what was remarkably Bananarama’s FIRST ever tour together – and what a success it was, with a sell-out run of 22 dates across the UK. Now fans are able to relive this spectacular with the release of their Eventim Hammersmith Apollo Show. Recorded on Sunday 29th November 2017, the recording captures the sensational renewed vigour of the band which saw them garner rave reviews from both devout audience members, and critics alike.
