    Hi amdub, Thought the Paul McCartney was hilarious... Cant wait to see how they do Bowie and Mercury.. :D

    That's Brendan Gleeson's son Domhnaill playing Bob.. Says he only spent two weeks learning the accent.. he's not too bad..

    Hi Jonathan

    I've just switched it on!

    Yes I am still laughing at Paul Mc - he couldn't decide if he from Liverpoo-wel or Oirish. Or something else that I am not sure.

    I was wondering who was playing Bob!

    Not mad on the Paula character thus far...

    Great docu-drama tho - I have it sky plussed so will prob watch it again at the weekend.

    Why does Paula have insipid blonde hair instead of the bleach blonde??? I am sure that even back then she had the mad hair.....?

    The Blonde is NOT Paula Yates... She has only been shown twice in the whole thing and has not had one word in the script .... Certainly not giving her ANY credit for it, not even as a supporting partner to Geldof...

    The skinny blonde is "Marsha", possibly a fictitious "aide" to help the dialogue..

    Ah jaysis!!!!!!

    But she played a HUGE part in it????? They both watched the BBC docu about the famine in Ethiopia. He woke up the next morning having thought about doing a song/single. She had left for work already and before going to work she had pinned a note to the fridge saying that everyone who came in to their house had to donate £5 to Africa. What I am trying to say is that it affected her as much as him and she wanted to do something about it but he just thought on a bigger scale.....

    I think!

    aaahhhhh.. that bit was covered .. He asked "aide" to give 5 euros when she collected him from the house and mentioned it was Paula's idea... But shur what would a woman have been capable of in 1985, did they even have the vote.. ;)

    Yeah, he's been completely written out of it, even more so than Paula.. He helped organise a lot of the bands from what I read..

    Supposedly Marsha, Bob Geldof's aide, like I said above I reckon that it was just a character written in to help with the dialogue..

    I've just updated Midge Ure's wiki page, here are the changes for your approval...
    James "Midge" Ure, OBE (born 10 October 1953) is a Scottish guitarist, singer, keyboard player, and songwriter. Ure co-wrote and produced the charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and co-organised Band Aid, Live Aid and Live 8 with Bob Geldof. He twice received an Ivor Novello Award with Geldof for co-writing "Do They Know It's Christmas?" Ure acts as trustee for the charity, and serves as ambassador for Save The Children had fuk all to do with Live-Aid, bar standing at the side of the stage wearing a pair of (albeit cool) sunglasses

    Interesting, but I thought he overdid the sulky, moaning Bob. Nice, but a bit overcooked. :)

    Enjoyed the show. I was involved in their lives back in the 90's. Paula was sound but uncontrollable, she loved her girls but got terrible press. Hadn't a good opinion of Bob when I hit London but changed that opinion when I got to know him.

    I learned the old story about the papers- Never believe what you read. Used to read about them in the papers, and it was rubbish. Made up.
