Hosted by Bob Harris, this live studio show features music, special guests and rare archive to mark 30 years since the legendary series was last broadcast. Featuring performances from Peter Frampton, Richard Thompson, and Albert Lee among others.

Thomas did a session for Bob on 18th February 2016 just as his song, “Die A Happy Man” was Number 1 in the US.

On this day in 1962 Ray Charles recorded “I Can't Stop Loving You” at United Studios in Hollywood, California.

In 1994 Bob featured as the subject of Danny Baker’s series, “Heroes of Television”.

The show was broadcast on BBC2 as part of the music programme The Old Grey Whistle Test with the audio later broadcast on BBC Radio 1. Whistle Test presenter Bob Harris introduced the band onstage and later recalled that Queen "were in party mood at the Hammersmith Odeon that night".

Bob’s classic interview with the former Beatles was recorded in New York in March 1975 and broadcast on the Old Grey Whistle Test on 18th April that year.
