    BRILL

    A brilliant film - thoroughly enjoyable & well worth watching. Neil Morrisey excellemtly portrays Charlotte/Charlie, and Martin Clunes & Jane Horrocks are also great. The 80's New Romantics is well remembered,by me, and this film is enhanced nicely with the appearances of Simon le Bon, etc. PLEASE RELEASE HUNTING VENUS ON VIDEO - ITS WELL WORTH BUYIMG!

    New Wave nostalgia on a low budget

    A TV movie comedy about an early 80's pop band made by Buffalo Pictures - starring and directed by Martin Clunes with his wife as producer.

    A strong cast with somewhat brief cameo appearances by various pop stars of the era. Jane Horrocks, Martin Clunes and Neil Morrissey (especially his makeup and prosthetics) are particularly good.

    Shown on Talking Pictures TV, this is a rarity despite it getting very good reviews on IMDB and Youtube. There is some evidence of VHS and a rare ITV DVD release and it is listed on Amazon.com. There was also a compilation album/CD.

    Made on a low budget which is a shame since the script and sets could have benefitted from a bit of a polish in places although there are some clever hidden references.

    Hunting Venus

    You just know Martin Clunes is an early 1980s boy. His directorial outing has swathes of 1980s new wave music.

    Clunes also stars as Simon Delancey, a faded 80s pop star who used to be in the group the Venus Hunters. They had one hit single.

    Now he is a vacuum cleaning salesman. That his way in to rob old ladies while they try out the cleaner.

    Simon really cleans up from one old lady, a dog collar is worth thousands.

    Unfortunately for him, his past catches up with him in the form of Cassandra and Jacqui who used to run the band's fan club. They were also fleeced by him.

    So they force Simon to reunite the band for a live BBC show of 1980s pop stars fronted by Jools Holland.

    Simon reluctantly agrees but the other band members hate him as well for conning them. One of them Charlie (Neil Morrissey) has had a sex change and is now Charlotte.

    Hunting Venus is an amiable and lightweight television film. A nostalgic look back to early 1980s music with cameos from Gary Numan, Human league, Simon Le Bon etc.

    The best performance comes from Morrissey as Charlotte.

    Brilliant.

    This was a superb piece of work. I was forced to watch this with my mother, and she wasn't able to understand what the film was actually a spoof of. I was; and it was done quite brilliantly.

    The show is, of course, stolen by Neil Morrissey's performance as Charlie/Charlotte, but the rest of the Hunters (and the rest of the cast; Jane Horrocks' versatility shines through yet again, with the whole idea of her being a lesbian landlady in a seaside resort b&b verging on the ridiculous) add in some vital and amazingly funny elements.

    Whether this was intended to be a comic work is not stated or known, but it succeeds. It is a quality parody of the music scene of the early 1980's. If ITV ever show it again, watch it.

    Wonderful

    It was brilliant. I could watch it over and over again. As my video recorder is currently out of action I can't do this at the moment.

    Neil Morrissey obviously stole the show. It's a shame that the TV magazines in England didn't seem to give him the credit he deserves! The rest of the cast were also brilliant. Jane Horrocks, Martin Clunes etc.

    As a "child of the 80s" I can relate to what happened then and how it is being portrayed now.

    PS If Neil Morrissey needs his "bits" massaging after the agony he must have suffered while in costume he's very welcome at my place!

      Charlotte: [Charlotte signing the one-hit song 'Starburst' at the BBC Television Centre on Jools TV programme] I dreamt the earth was dying, we were choking on the fumes. Apocalypse, desintegration, we furnished our own doom. A cold and vast eternity, was all our future held. We'd sucked it dry and only left pollution's acrid smell. It was some time, some time on the trip to Uranus. Saturn, Pluto,Mars, who could blame us?. Maybe some time, when the moon no longer feels the pull of the Earth, we'll be there at the new planets birth, you and I, and we'll kiss a supernova. Born of our bliss for light years, it could happen like this, a galaxy, that we can call home. Sent my children skyward, I launched them into space, a herculean effort, the strain shows on my face, we headed for Saturn. Inspected his ring the Dog Star and Pluto, we heard angels sing. It was some time, some time on the trip to Uranus, Saturn, Pluto, Mars, who could blame us? Maybe some time, when the moon no longer feels the pull of the Earth, we'll be there at the new planet's birth, you and I and we'll kiss a supernova born of our bliss. For light years it could happen like this, a galaxy, that we can call home. A black hole pulled us in we saw quasars, Saturn, Pluto, Mars who can blame us? Maybe some time, when the moon no longer feels the pull of the Earth, we'll be there at the new planet's birth, you and I, and we'll kiss, a supernova born of our bliss. For light years it could happen like this, a galaxy that we can call home, that we can call home. Maybe some time. Maybe some time.
