Show and tell: Pet Shop Boys

We were asked to film a short promo advertising our upcoming appearance on the German TV show Wetten Dass. The shop/gallery Other Criteria on New Bond Street kindly let us record it in front of this Damien Hirst. Afterwards we looked at the proof of a beautiful print by Gary Hume called Two Roses which Other Criteria is publishing.

Always romantic Photograph: Pet Shop Boys So we wandered into Fortnum & Mason on Piccadilly. They serve the best tea in London. Chris had lapsang souchong and Neil had Earl Grey (with lemon). Chris, as usual, had a slab of chocolate cake. • Pandemonium, the live DVD, is out now, £12.99, petshopboysshop.co.uk Photograph: Pet Shop Boys Photograph: guardian.co.uk
