BBC Four says it has ordered Boy George and Culture Club: Karma to Calamity, an hourlong documentary from Mentorn Media chronicling the reunion of the famous 1980s band.
Directed by Mike Nicholls, the program is being billed as "an access-all-areas film about the band's revival, following the members from their initial recording sessions through to their live performances."
"Culture Club are one of those iconic bands who everyone wants to know more about," Greg Sanderson, BBC Commissioning Editor of Arts, Music and Events, said in a statement. "Getting access to the trials and triumphs of their reunion was always going to be exciting, and we're delighted to be taking audiences behind the scenes of this extraordinary foursome."
"Culture Club is a band with a history as colorful as their music. Mike has unique and intimate access which provides a candid insight as these four strong personalities attempt to work together for the first time in 15 years," added Tayte Simpson, Mentorn Media's director of programs and the film's executive producer.
