“On the back of releasing their album u0026#39;Actuallyu0026#39;, which plays like a greatest hits and includes the iconic u0026quot;Itu0026#39;s a Sinu0026quot;, PSBs decided to release this musical, feature length music video, depending how youu0026#39;d like to look at it.nAs a film, it is disjointed, pretentious, with some fairly dreadful dialogue, delivered mostly in Neil Tennantu0026#39;s dull monotone.nAs a music video, itu0026#39;s perfect, full of odd and surreal goings on, with a few hand fulls of sexual innuendo, interspersed with catholic imagery, nuns in suspenders, a killer priest, Barbara Winsor, an appallingly over the top used car salesman and Clacton acting as the backdrop, the not so proverbial coastal town that they forgot to close down.nWe all know the landscape, and the songs, fast forward the bad bits by all means, but It Couldnu0026#39;t Happen Here, Itu0026#39;s a Sin, Heart, Suberbia and One More Chance will each leave you encapsulated and wondering why more bands donu0026#39;t give this a try. Flawed yes, but Neil and Chris, thank you for give us this.”
