How to watch ‘Boyzone: No Matter What’ in the UK

Formed in 1993 by talent manager Walsh after auditioning more than 300 men across Ireland, the band shot to fame after the release of their debut single in 1994 – a cover of the Four Seasons’ Working My Way Back To You. Boyzone parted ways in 2000 but reformed in 2007, with the documentary revealing the truth behind the initial split and their damaging rise to fame. From the BBC’s Boyband Forever documentary to Robbie Williams’s divisive biopic Better Man (the one where he’s played by a CGI monkey, of course), there’s been a growing sense of nostalgia for Nineties boyband culture. Now, Boyzone is back in the spotlight with a new three-part documentary detailing the Irish group’s rise to fame. Airing on Sky Documentaries and available on Now TV, it goes behind the scenes and shines a light on the “toxic environment” behind their rise to fame.
