A celebration of The Cure, Robert Smith and the unique songwriting talents that meant their long list of singles were always destined to break out from the bedrooms of tortured students and be embraced by a far wider audience.\n\nThis archive collection of the Cure’s performances on the BBC goes from the early days with A Forest through to hits like Lovecats, Friday I’m in Love, Close to Me and Boys Don’t Cry, demonstrating why, in Britain and overseas, they enjoyed – or pretended not to enjoy – such huge success.
