We watched Rock the Children, Gary Barlow's charity concert from the Royal Albert Hall last night and all I could think, is we've come to this. We're watching a Pudsey Bear effort with that Horrible Fat Man from Radio One (with another fatty from Up North) presenting. And with people like Annie Lennox and Paul McCartney and Leona Lewis on.
But...there was a lovely collaboration between Lily Allen and Take That; and Snow Patrol and Cheryl Cole. I enjoyed seeing some of the other bands live, big noses and all and really enjoyed a 'proper concert' feel.
It just went to show how much we're missing live music on TV these days; even Top of the Pops has now gone. Although at times, especially with the presenting skills of that Reggie it was unbearable at least it offered music that was not all Simon Callow and X factor approved.
Bring back TOTP please BBC - but with new presenters; and NOT ones from Radio One.

Try watching Jools Holland, normally a good show and interesting range of guests.
I didn't think he was on anymore - have horrible feeling it might be because I'm normally in bed by ten. Oh the life I lead!
Ah well you see thats where iplayer comes in very handy.
