90s pop icon Melanie Blatt (All Saints) joins the team behind BBC’s Girlbands Forever for a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the drama, nostalgia and making of a pop phenomenon.
Featuring a star-studded line-up from BBC’s runaway hit Girlbands Forever, from both in front of and behind the camera, this exclusive conversation lifts the lid on the realities of making, and appearing in, an ensemble music documentary. From winning the trust of contributors and balancing personal testimony with social history, to the blood, sweat and tears of clearing archive, music and performers’ rights, we’ll explore what it takes to turn girlband history into must-watch television. Expect iconic moments, behind-the-scenes stories, and a lively look at the challenges and rewards of bringing a pop phenomenon to the screen.
