The Last Night will be shown on BBC2 (1st half) and BBC 1(2nd half) as usual, rather than BBC4.

We are also promised a series of 'highlights' from the Proms on BBC2 during the season, although no details as to what they might be. One hopes that BBC2 will at least play complete works in the highlights programme, or perhaps that is too much to hope for. You can see it now:

Katie Derham: "that was the adagio from Mahler's 5th symphony, and now that piece by Rachmaninov used in Brief Encounter, accompanied by some lovely shots of sunset over the Albert Memorial"

Very disappointed they are not showing any of the Ring. Wonder what crap BBC4 will be showing instead on those nights......

Seems to come round quicker every year !

Will be heading off to the First Night shortly.
