One Night Only is a British prime time music entertainment TV show, broadcast by ITV1 which featured Duran Duran on 20 March 2011.
About the show[]
The show was presented by Christine Bleakley, who had previously interviewed members of Duran Duran on Daybreak in December 2010.
Filmed at studios in London on 12 March 2011, One Night Only consisted of live performances interlaced with band interviews and video clips.
Beginning with music video clips of "The Wild Boys", "Girls on Film" and "Is There Something I Should Know?", Bleakley introduced the show. She said that One Night Only would chart Duran Duran's musical history and celebrate their 30 years in the music business. Adding, the band have sold 80 million records, after releasing their first album in 1981.
The band opened with a live performance of "A View to a Kill", performed with a backdrop featuring video screens and Duran Duran logos taken from different eras in their history. Bleakley described it as the best Bond theme ever, played live with a string quartet that included Martha Riley on violin.
Interviews from London and Birmingham followed, recorded the previous week. Roger Taylor spoke from Villa Park, the venue of Duran Duran's MENCAP Concert in 1983. He talked about how the band went from 'zero to hero' in six months in the early 1980s. John Taylor was interviewed from the Rotunda, a well known Birmingham circular high rise building and described the audience histeria of early tours. Simon Le Bon later commented that Duran Duran are not about decedent lifestyles, but about optimism.
