Roy Orbison – The Big O In Britain
21.00, BBC4
More repeats here, but it’s always worth catching up with The Big O who, as the first programme points out, was massively popular in Europe even when he was completely down the dumper in the USA. That’s illustrated by a 1965 concert in Holland at ten, then the concert after that at 10.30 is also in monochrome but was filmed in 1988, and it’s a famous one too with the likes of Bruce Springsteen fulfilling childhood ambitions by singing with him.

I’m a huge Roy O fan – what a voice!
