Various highlights from this show have been broadcast on TV by the BBC:

3) A 50-minute highlights show broadcast as part of the BBC's "BBC One Sessions" series on BBC One (and simulcast in high definition on BBC HD) on 26 November 2006.

This DVD was authored using the best available TV versions of the audio and video streams for each track.

All audio and video streams on this DVD are the original broadcast bitstreams captured directly from the various DVB digital TV broadcasts. No analogue stages and no re-encoding.

All streams are confirmed to be 100% error-free - i.e. no dropped frames.

Notes:

This broadcast was part of the "BBC One Sessions" series, but had the BBC's "Electric Proms" opening credits sequence and track title graphics. Both the "BBC One Sessions" and "Electric Proms" logos are
shown at the end of the closing credits.

The video from BBC One is logo free. The BBC HD broadcast had a 1440x1080i resolution, but had a BBC HD logo in the top-right corner. So I authored this DVD using the logo-free standard definition BBC One
video stream, rather than resizing and re-encoding the BBC HD video.
