If , like me you have to be in tonight and scratching around for something to look at on the telly. ITV opting out of the whole thing!!... Looking at my Radio Times, there isn't much going on on the English BBC1 (or 2)…Chums that have Freeview or Satellite might try going to BBC1 Scotland that may have a slightly more traditional look to it. Though it won't have the (sadly missed) Andy Stewart or Moira Anderson!

Note: Don't know if anyone did it...but the BBC1 Scotland programme was a much better affair than the national effort!
