Title: Hunting Venus
Post by: The Barge Captain on 09 January 2008, 11:01:17

Can anyone else remember a one off TV program from about 6 or 7 years ago, shown at Christmas called "Hunting Venus"?  It stared Martin Clunes, Neil Morrisey, Ron Weasley's dad (you know, the one from the fast show) and Fifi flower tot (Little Northern lass, also Bubble in AbFab).
The plot was about a couple of fans who wanted to get their New Romantics band "The Venus Hunters" back together for a one off gig.  In the passing years, Morrisey had become a transsexual, Clunes a con man and one of the others a plummer.

Anyway.  The reason for asking is that I was listening to Ultravox's "We came to dance" the other night and it reminded me of the main song from this great film.  Decided to put my video copy on to watch.  Couldn't find it. :-?

Confession from SWMBO.........

Sorry I taped over it by accident.  I thought I told you. >:(

So does anybody have a copy?
Haven't been able to find it on 'tinternet.

Can anyone help a poor New Romantic sad act? :'(

Please (with frilly cuffs)


and maybe some blusher
