I've already put this on another part of the Board, but people should be aware that Richard Thompson's official website is saying that Newsnight at 10.30pm tonight are doing a piece on Richard. As their cameras were seen at the Folk Awards the other night, presume this will also  include footage of Fairport at that ceremony, but may just be about RT. Said to be doing an interview with him as well.

Sorry folks. Suspect it was put back because of the news of that Sion Jenkins bloke and the outcome of his trial. Tonight's Newsnight might be a better bet, especially as it is on the same night as Folk Britannia is over on BBC4, and Friday usually has newsnight review, it's arts review bit. The RT website definetly said it was yesterday, (look at "catch of the day" to the left of his home page, after you put his name into "google"); no update on it this morning, though.

I particularly liked RTs interview with Prince Assan of Jordan - great duet on Sloth, Assan can really hit those power chords.


(BTW peterryb, as this is the public bit of the board you have to be careful when making private judgements on people)

If, by "The folk prog", you mean Folk Britannia, that is repeated later in the night.

I hope they do make it on to the Newsnight Review tonight, btw, anyone know what happened after 10.30 in House last night Huh
I switched over for Newsnight Roll Eyes   Now giving up half of House on the offchance is real dedication Wink

Edit: By an amazing leap if intuition Doc House diagnosed and saved the patient suffering from something improbable and deadly, while everybody else was hopelessly lost. Surely they would have learnt to just ask him in the first place.  He was also a bit grumpy. Colin, who has never seen the programme.

What was the name of the episode? Was it "Autopsy"?

I videoed it so I don't know which bit 10.30 was...but the guy refused to take the TB drugs to raise awareness of people in Africa not being able to afford them, but House worked out that TB wasn't the problem anyway, it was something to do with blood glucose which they found out by almost killing him but of course he then got better. Phew. Cameron didn't go off with him. And Wilson worked out that House hated the guy so much because he enjoyed his work. It wasn't a very good episode.

Let's hope there actually is something on Newsnight tonight!

Having felt like a stalker on this message board for several years I always determined to register when I had anything useful to say.  So my first post is to pass on a little information on the mythical RT Newsnight broadcast.

My man on the inside tells me that the feature has been put together by Robin Deneslow (of, I understand, the Electic Muse fame and a respected music and current affairs journalist).  What I am told is that the RT feature has now been scheduled for next Thursday, 23 February. 

Anyway, it feels nice to have come in from the cold.

We clocked Robin Denselow and the BBC cameras at RT's Cambridge show two weeks ago, so it isn't a rumour - question is when.
