This is not intended to be a full statement of all your rights under the Distance Selling Regulations. Anita Dobson who played Angie Watts in EastEnders brings along some of Angie’s outfits and regales Fiona with tales from early EastEnders episodes, while former BBC News Correspondent Kate Adie reflects on her time reporting from the world’s hotspots. This has to be the best job in the BBC, but of course there’s also a big responsibility in telling the BBC story that involves the contributions of so many other people – especially readers of Prospero! To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. In this culturally thrilling vintage music show, the programmes celebrate the centenary of the BBC with Barry’s very own selection of thought-provoking and witty songs by artists who made their name during the earliest days of British broadcasting.

Spanning the generations are Tony Blackburn, Zoe Ball and Rylan Clark chatting about their life on air, including memorable outside broadcasts, earliest BBC memories, their first songs played on air and lots more (Saturday 15th October). So alongside the glorious nostalgia for viewers of all ages, there is always a fascinating parallel tale.Look out for our updates on BBC themed exhibitions, and additions to our trail of heritage blue plaques. The One Show will be rebranded The One Hundred Show between 24 – 28 October and will run a daily BBC 100 show highlighting the BBC’s dedication to unearthing and nurturing talent, with plenty of special guests.

Executive produced for Lion TV by Richard Bradley and Simon Welton, and for CBBC by Melissa Hardinge.
