The Freeview TV site (https://www.freeview.co.uk/tv-guide) also has full listings - and as Channels 9 and 11 are close together, it's easy to check the Friday/Saturday/Sunday music listings at a glance. This is a screenshot for next Friday, f'rinstance:

BBC4. The Boomtown Rats, that should be worth watching, have not played any of their music in years.

It's an interesting doc as I recall, Jon  (like virtually of BBC4's output these days, it's a repeat) - and the Sight and Sound In Concert that follows is also the Rats at what must have been their prime...

Incidentally, does anybody recall those BBC Sight and Sound In Concert setups? My memory is that they were simulcasts between BBC2 (for the pictures) and Radio 1 (for the stereo sound) - but I could be wrong about that...

REPEATS is the main reason I don't watch the BBC vary often and the new shows they do just don't interest me, It seems it's all reality TV now a days. Doctor Who was a program I used to look forward to on the BBC but that is no longer as good as it use to be, Just the Doctor and his side kick now it has to be 3 Or 4 of them to make it politically correct. I do still look forward to Top Gear but I wish they made more episodes, It's just 4 or 5 now. It's one of their best programs sold all over the world why not make more episodes?
When it comes to the BBC I listen to five live on the radio late at night, there is a lot of vary good programs on it and the DJs like to mix it up with a bit of fun and serious programming.

Last night I watched a recording of a programme that was shown on BBC 4 on Sunday night, it's called We want the Light and is about the relationship between Jewish musicians in Germany and the German state. As a taster early on one contributor declared the musicians started to be resented because they simply became too good, apparently Wagner could have been Adolf's right hand man in the SS if he had chose to - he openly advocated extermination. 
Sounds heavy and some of it is but lots to inform / enjoy, the playing of Wagners music in Israel is heavily opposed in some quarters even today, one man pulls out a wooden football rattle or similar at a Wagner concert. 
Interviews with survivors of the camps who did so because they could play an instrument are moving, the power of music to people is shown when it becomes obvious that the camp soldiers and officers use it to take their mind off what they are doing.
Directed by the highly respected Christoper Nupen, 90 minutes
