Thirty-three years ago the Pet Shop Boys were atop the British charts with their first ever cover version, a souped-up synth reworking of the country classic Always On My Mind, which would go on to be the Christmas number one single of 1987, leapfrogging over Rick Astley and keeping those smelly old Pogues in their place.
By virtue of its last minute inclusion in the seminal pop duo’s then to be released film It Couldn’t Happen Here, the song’s promotional video acted as a de facto movie trailer, boasting a tasty triumvirate of screen legends in Joss Ackland, Gareth Hunt, and Barbara Windsor, the actress and kitchen sink icon who has died aged 83. This is the story.
