This much is true

Spandau Ballet’s Martin and Gary Kemp send themselves up in a spoof documentary

Pop icons Martin and Gary Kemp have never taken themselves too seriously – even at the height of their 1980s fame, when their band Spandau Ballet had a string of top-10 hits, including True and Gold.

Now the brothers are sending themselves up by playing fictionalised versions of themselves in spoof documentary The Kemps: All True – like a cross between This Is Spinal Tap and the 2018 Bros documentary After the Screaming Stops.

Cameras follow the Kemps while comedian Rhys Thomas interviews the famous brothers as they record their anniversary album, Spandau ReKemped, and embark on a range of ludicrous business ventures.

COMEDY GOLD ‘I’d worked with Rhys a few years back on the brilliant [BBC4 spoof documentary] The Life of Rock with Brian Pern, so I knew how great his work was,’ explains Martin.
