Tomorrow 24th Feb the line up is

9:00pm
Forever Young - How Rock 'n' Roll Grew Up
Documentary exploring how rock 'n' roll stars have coped with growing old after being symbols of rebellion from the genre's roots in the 1950s. The programme uncovers how artists have enjoyed comebacks in the 21st century, and examines what happened to the mantra `live fast, die young'. Featuring contributions by Iggy Pop, Lemmy, Rick Wakeman, Suggs and Alison Moyet. Narrated by Cherie Lunghi

12:00am
Classic Albums
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedoes The making of Damn the Torpedoes by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, which was recorded in secrecy in 1979 as the band members fought for creative independence with their record company.

[Troubadour]

BBC 4 shows some great stuff! As does Sky Arts and Vintage TV (the latter is under the music category.) I stumbled upon a James Taylor concert on there the other night and recorded it.

[Annabel]

I thought they'd finished all the music on a Friday night stuff. Will make sure the PVR has room for all this tonight. Thanks.

[Prettymaid]

Some of these shows sound great!

[TimothyBFan]

Would love to be able to see some of those! They sound great. Can we see them online somewhere I wonder?

[Victim of Love]

Sometimes I'm able to pull up BBC broadcasts (replays) online. Just depends on what it is and what your web browser allows. Just go to the BBC websites, find what you're interested in and try it.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Thanks for the info, Carole. I would LOVE to see pretty much all of these! Ah - so much music - so little time!

[tequila girl]

The First One - Forever Young was really Good (it's just finished).....Took me right back to my Youth!

[Annabel]

I recorded them all then when I sat to watch then I realised I'd seen most of them already. Still watched them again.
