Are you sure it's this year's paper you're reading John or are you watching a video?

There does appear to be a tribute to Spike Milligan on earlier in the evening so maybe all the schedules have changed to accomodate that.

That said I did see the programme when it was on before and was not that impressed especially since there wasn't even a mention of Richard Thompson.

You read the Express and expect accuracy? And no, the schedules weren't rearranged to accomodate Spike --- his last demonstration of his genius in the art of comic timing was to die three days before this already-scheduled tribute programme.

John,

Who was on it? I've obviously missed it but would like to satisfy my morbid curiosity.

Looked up via Google, and I gather this is the list (from programme first broadcast in March 2001):

Ritchie Blackmore
Eric Clapton
The Edge
Jimi Hendrix
Johnny Marr
Hank Marvin
Brian May
Jimmy Page
Carlos Santana
Pete Townsend

I doubt if we missed much of great value.
