Duran Duran talk in depth to super-fan Claudia Winkleman about 40 of their biggest hits and best-loved tracks, as the band celebrate 40 years since the release of their debut single, Planet Earth.
Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor reveal the stories and song-writing secrets behind their music-making - with Simon Le Bon giving a rare insight behind the lyrics that he has penned.
In Part 1, the chart-topping band take us from their 80s successes, right through to the early 90s, as they talk candidly to Claudia about everything from break-ups and bagging a Bond song to banned videos and writing B-sides at breakneck speed.
Duran Duran was formed in Birmingham by keyboardist Nick Rhodes and bassist John Taylor in 1978. When the band emerged, they were considered part of the New Romantic Scene. The group have since sold more than 100 million records and have had 14 singles in the Top 10 of the UK Charts.
