One person's tribute night , another person's night of repeats ?

Grammatically perfectly legitimate to do so with headings and titles actually. Song titles a good example.

You Don't Need To Join Together Every Word In A Username Without A Gap.

Not the done thing to pick apart grammar though, as tempting as it can be sometimes. Rules IS rules.

The BBC4 schedule on the BBC website has not been amended and I wonder how this may affect the final two TOTP 1982 editions which wrap up the year before we begin 1983 next week? It's a double bill from 7pm to 8pm and then the late night unedited edition's too. Tamper with those and there's going to be a fuss for sure as they are suggesting "a night of programmes" rather than an hour or two.

Judging by the BBC1 concert on Tuesday it's two million people's tribute night.

Perhaps the concert the other night would've sat better in the context of this upcoming "night" and something more populist put in its place on Tuesday seeing as they apparently have plenty of other content available.

I daresay the Wham, Young Guns half hour will be part of it - Same series this Human League one was:

Short words like 'a' or 'of' aren't usually capitalised in titles though. Just saying.

Looking forward to this .not a fan of the Wham days but of course It should be covered.hopefully lots of Georges solo stuff rather than the covers at the concert aired the other night ,pleasant as they were.

Surprised it is on BBC4 and not on their flagship BBC1, apparently few people can find anything on TV that is not on BBC1, isn't that why they alter schedules when football and tennis must always be shown on BBC1.

What George Michael shows do they already have to put out though?

I expect they'll do a "At The BBC" show if there isn't one already

There would be justified outrage if they took over BBC1 for the evening because of a pop singer dying. Bad enough doing it on BBC4 but they often have lots of pop music on a Friday anyway.

So, this "night" of programmes is now just the TotP half hour and the repeat of the concert. Bit shabby....

Looks as if someone higher up and told them to calm down and not get carried away. There is the second part of a documentary series that people have been watching and a programme about 2016 which seems to have been planned to show tonight. They have dropped a repeated documentary and moved a film back slightly which seems more reasonable,

My Grandmother had a TV that would only pick up BBC. Mind you, it also had a 12" screen with 405 lines and was monochrome.

What's going on with the scheduling of this evening's GM tribute? Disappointed to be watching the same concert that I stayed up for the other evening - could they not show something else - really? All the big build up for a repeat? I have been telling everyone to tune in to BBC 4 for the tribute evening and now I feel let down. (Excellent concert, but did expect to be seeing it again so soon!)

I'm pleased you took my jest in the good spirit it was intended. Some might not have done.

Wham! back in the Top 10 last night for the first time since July 1986.

My EPG didn't update until yesterday when it showed the doc A Different Life at 9pm. That was later dropped and the Paris concert moved back. Gawd knows why. Shabby treatment.
Still the BBC missed a trick by not showing The Day We Sang as a tribute to Victoria Wood this Xmas so prob no surprise
