INTERVIEWS WITH THE PRETENDERS & JASON DONOVAN

I sort of remember watching the '87 one back in the day. I think there is an interview with Janet during 'Let's Wait Awhile'. I assume 'Boom Boom' is Countdown dancers? I don't recall ever seeing the video on Countdown. I did manage to get it on max around 8 years ago, when they were playing videos from 80's compilations. Of course, most of the videos from each compilation were the same old, same old.
