Wham! 10 Days in China
Wham! 10 Days in China
In 1985, Wham! were the first Western pop group to perform in communist China, with George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley's two concerts in Beijing and Guangzhou introducing the genre to Chinese audiences and marked a turning point for the band. Drawing on meticulously restored, newly digitised and never-before-seen archive footage, alongside interviews with those who experienced the tour first-hand, this documentary revisits this historic moment through the eyes of the band, their team and Chinese audiences encountering Western pop culture for the first time
Wham! 10 Days in China airs on BBC Two Northern Ireland HD at 9:00 PM, Saturday 29 August. (Subtitles, new, audio description.)
