Even if you are going to a gig tonight the chances are you will be back home to watch it or, more likely, opt to go to bed instead! I mean, come on BBC, 3 hours of jazz starting at 22:00 hours! Yet on previous Fridays you show (yawn) TOTP re-runs mid evening. I know I can do catch-ups but, after having just forked out £159 for a licence fee, I don't want to lose out on sleep as well and I've better things to do during the day than listen to what are actually repeats anyway.
