Boyzone review: No Matter What is one of the best pop documentaries I’ve ever seen

You sit up a bit every time Louis Walsh appears on screen

Boyzone: No Matter What starts Sunday on Sky Documentaries and NOW.

Boyzone were always more interesting as people than musicians. So it makes sense to put Boyzone: No Matter What on Sky Documentaries, rather than Sky Arts.

This superbly knitted three-part documentary reminds you that Boyzone had a touch of Shakespeare about them. There’s fun, rivalry, secrets, all the ups and downs as they soared, split, and reunited more than once. There’s the tragedy of Stephen Gately’s death from a congenital heart condition. And there’s Louis Walsh.
