Who else did they have taking part? And were there any historical items? I suppose, if our good old Australian Broadcasting Corporation runs true to form, we'll get the heavily abridged version showing only the pipe bands, the highland dancers and possibly one other musical turn. then the lone piper and the finale (40 minutes if we're lucky)in time for Christmas...2005.

Having fond memories of seeing the Tattoo live too many years ago, I'd like to see the whole thing, not some TV programmer's idea of what they want people to see.
