    Matt seems to be on the verge of permanently bursting into tears, absolutely ridiculed with insecurity and Luke too seems extremely insecure.

    I wish them all the best and am just glad that I'm not rich and famous, as the vast majority seem to be desperately unhappy.

    I made a decision in the 80's to hate them, and I've stuck to that opinion. I'm blowed if im going to watch any programme now that may revise my view that they are a pair of pretentious talentless twonks.

    Watch the programme - it won’t change your view.

    I enjoyed the documentary. It would appear to me that it is far easier to dislike them through earlier prejudices than to take the programme at face value.
    Looked like a simple case of sibling rivalry to me, made worse by the fact that they were twins (and probably couldn't handle the fame first time round).
    What I liked about both of them was the genuine affection that they appeared to feal for their fans and the time that they were prepared to give to them.

    I went to Vegas a few years back, and Matt Goss was headlining then. I thought it was a superbly made documentary and the boys came across as troubled but obviously talented. A shame people who haven’t achieved one iota of what they have achieved see it as an opportunity to slag them off. Not my cup of tea music wise, but then so what.

    I ended the programme liking them, and almost feeling a bit sorry for them in many ways. After Bros they both went away and were successful again which really takes some doing. Good luck to them both.

    Have to mention ‘ Big Ben, the embankment and cab drivers’ ........hilarious. To be honest, they were two men who wanted to say a lot but didn’t have the vocabulary to get it across, hence David Brent moments.

    “One of the more unexpected effects of the Duchatelet era was that half the fan base became Brosettes...”

    At least Bros care about their fans.

    Just seen it. I thought it was an honest and emotional documentary. In these days of Men being told to show their feelings, they set a good example.

    And as a ‘music lover’ (as 6music call their listeners like me) it was very interesting.
    Don’t think it was cringey at all.
