Music documentary spoofs following former Spandau Ballet superstars, siblings Martin and Gary Kemp.

The Kemps: All True (2020) sees Rhys Thomas OBE interview the pair about their lives and careers following Spandau Ballet's 40th anniversary celebrations in December. As well as looking back at their musical history, the show reveals Gary and Martin's other passions: Martin attempts to launch a new film franchise - The Hardest British Bastards of the Galaxy - and Gary has his own Vegan meat-substitute, Wonge.

The Kemps: All Gold (2023) sees a star-studded cast featuring a mix of seasoned talent and fresh faces join the Kemp brothers as Rhys follows the pair over a whole year as they make a biopic, get divorced and form a super group; naturally not everything goes to plan.
