I didn't expect to get a negative email! Just a big void. I imagine Radio 2 still has zillions of listeners and it sounds like they promoted it heavily there.

Let's just hope that when BBC Two air the concert one Saturday in June they'll give us a decent evening of Pulp programming and not just lazily schedule some general Britpop filler alongside it.
I think we can safely assume they'll have cobbled together a Pulp At The BBC compilation using their performances on TOTP and Jools Holland, maybe even Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, peppered with clips of things like Pop Quiz and Live & Kicking. I wouldn't be surprised if they also wheel out No Sleep Till Sheffield (it's been on BBC Four a handful of times) and/or The Story of Pulp's Common People.
Of course, what I'd really like to see turn up is the Eden Project show from 2002, unseen since BBC Choice originally aired it; my ropey old VHS recording that's been floating around the Internet for the past couple of decades could do with a long rest.

Slightly off topic but I've got a digital copy of the Eden Project gig somewhere, Pip. Obviously not in 4K but if you want me to upload it somewhere I'm happy to see if I can find it
Has an evening of Pulp at the Beeb on TV been confirmed?
No, but BBC Two have been regularly devoting Saturday evenings to music for the past few years, often focused around a particular band/artist, so you could put good money on Pulp getting their turn with this exclusive concert - there's not really anywhere else in the current schedule it would fit.

That would be wonderful, yes please! (though if it starts with a Sky on-screen EPG flashing up just before the start of the programme, that's my tape!).
