You know what amazes me about Boy George? It's his tenacious staying power, his stamina. No matter what adversities he's been through he just keeps picking himself back up and keeps going. He's still working, still famous, and still creating. I couldn't doit if I'd been through everything he has, I don't think many people could.

Yah I agree. He’s touring the USA again. Finally!

I don't care what people thin, I've always admired George. He has a great voice, and he's very articulate.

Boy George is so right! I bet those girls felt stupid when Boy George was on top of the charts. I dress up and I walk away from people who have a go at me!!

He couldn't have put it more simply: "Why do you dress like that?" "Because I want to".

His accent is really cockney here! The other guy is Martin Degvile, even at this age he was a very sparky person.

40 yrs later Boy George is still punk, I'd love to see what that young little punk is wearing today

he was very comfortable in his skin and gave some good advice to those kids.

Boy George is a very clever young man. I'm impressed.

I listened to him very young and I can relate so much today why fight about politics or whatever else its all in your mind and there's and its about character nothing else. Politics and clothing don't make a person's character or make their manners and respect.

Great to see George being so honest in this interview he is worth listening to, Love You George.

MY thoughts also, NOW George spews BS, sometimes he will outright lie. Back in the day, he spoke from the heart.

boy george is an intellectual among the youngsters.. . with lots of heart.. . i'm amuse!!!

Omg Boy George was so young in that interview.

He was only 17 or 18 years old here.

Who is that idiot at the end ! I really want to see his face after a few years later when DO YOU REALLY ANT TO HURT ME was at the top of charts and make him realized of who he was making fun of ! Don't touch my BOY he is always perfect !

Yes, Boy is clever and very articulate. I was wondering what the man's concentration camp pajamas outfit was about at the end? And the grape?

Im sure that is the same man who is the original “jimmy” in the album photos for the album Quadrophenia, before Phil Daniels played the character in the film, if you look up “dirty jobs live by the who” im almost certain he does the intro at the start of the song and is in the original photo booklet of the album.

Boy George was living in Walsall at this time in a flat above a shop along with Martin Degville (sat next to George in this clip). Roger Taylor of Duran Duran (who were just forming) frequently spent nights at the flat in Goodall Street with Martin. George and Martin were often seen at clubs in Birmingham which is about 10 miles south of Walsall.

He had a world of wisdom even then.... brilliant

I love how boy g. Talks here.. Its soothing.. I dress weird too. Cos i feel like it myself..

i was 9 when this was taped, boy george was so good with talking to kids he dont give a crap what anyone says about him how he dresses im the same way hes my fav singer since i was a kid n still is

George is very charismatic & articulate in this video.

Georgey is a witty chap, with an incredible capacity of counter-argumentation (check other further tv interviews), and a good lyricist too. I never bought his music but i've heard it on the radio - soulful and competently made. It's a media product, morphing into song, and it cheers up your day. In 95 i was surprised by the quality of the Cheapness and Beauty album, which i found very solid, outstanding even, and being then professionally involved with radio, i played it quite often during that year. I was raised on TG/PTV/DIJ/C93/KJoke...and Motorhead, but i guess one must be really deaf forever to ignore the powerful songs and music on that record. Cheers from Portugal.

03:45 Bloody hell, what was in those grapes?!

The year I was born. Born to love💜💜 boy george!!!

He `s 18 years old there !!! !

Boy has always been good for speeches

His brilliance!!

You can tell the guy besides him was so cringed out by the entire exchange, and gave the best response in a few short sentences, obviously dressing differently invites lots of attention, and George just won't shut up yapping on and on, jeez.

Wow, Boy George is literally dressed like the Joker...where is Batman when you need him. Every bit is the joker, down to the gloves

70s and 80s was the best generation

How adorable!

Everyone is confused about the grape thing at the end....surprised I didn't see an answer to it. My guess is that it was a running gag on the show? Like to control the flow (or in this instance ruin it) they had a stooge character jump in with the grape bit and then cut to commercial? How far off am I?

Wow, super dupe rare. And this must have been the episode with The Specials as musical guests because I see some of the members in the audience.

Boy george in bbc

It doesn't take courage to stand up to bullies, it takes intelligence. Something Boy George knows, but this woman doesn't..

Je ne comprends pas très bien l'anglais donc je rate des conversations intéressantes dans cette vidéo...boy George semble maîtriser la situation et connaître son sujet.🤔 niveau discussion.👍

All I can say is that this is the same George O'Dowd that appeared on talk shows just a couple of years later when he hit it big with Culture Club. Fame have not changed him at all.

Love what he says here, very cool.

He's always been the truth- dont fight; do your own thing; move along.😊

How I love THIS George, I wish Karma Chameleon never happened. I die for Martin's fabric design, both looking so FAB!

Wooo.. Boy George genial. 😍

Español porfavor

AMAZING! especially since he was forced to wear a uniform in Catholic school. Another "recovering Catholic".............

It looks like the group were part punk, part romantic. Is it Kirk Brandon last row to right? It may look like George didn't care what people think but how could anyone not. Straight guys fell for him but proclaimed "I'm straight".

Dam that was a awsome discussion but show is pretty trippy though.

Donde encuentro la entrevista completa? esta hermosa y George tan bello y chiquito je

He’s smart but he looks like a young man educating teens. Top bloke love him.

big up to my dad massive blonde hair at the back 😂😂

Boy George had a really strong London accent back then.

omg George was 18 here

Kids now are all like sheep. No individuals

I thought that was Steve Strange until she started talking!!!!!!!

Never realized how much he looked like the Joker...

Boy George Más Joven igual de Bello💓

is it just me or does BG nose look rather large here wonder if he had a nose job, it looks smaller in later vids

The whole point of "Something Else" was to give TV access to under 20s who hadn't been on TV before. George fitted the bill perfectly. He's not being interviewed anyway; he's taking part in a free discussion.
