A number of uk radio stations have also been playing her music in tribute of her upcoming 80th birthday. Great to hear those classics on the air again.

I just watched Diana Ross at the BBC on the BBC iPlayer, using a VPN connection.

Here is the running order of the program [not confident it's in perfect order], for those that may be curious about what footage was shown...

I Will Survive [[National Lottery)
Baby Love [[Top of the Pops)
I'm Still Waiting [[Greatest Music Party in the World)
Why Do Fools Fall In Love [[music video as aired on Top of the Pops)
When You Tell Me That You Love Me [[Top of the Pops)
Upside Down [[music video, Top of the Pops)
Good Morning Heartache [[Royal Albert Hall, Show of the Week)
Brief interview / One Shining Moment [[Wogan)
My Old Piano [[music video, Top of the Pops)
Stop In the Name of Love/Baby Love [[Royal Albert Hall, Show of the Week)
Interview/Not Over You Yet [[1999 National Lottery Stars)
Work That Body [[music video, Top of the Pops)
Heart Don't Change My Mind [[Wogan)
Your Love [[Tops of the Pops)
Do You Know Where You're Going To / Ain't No Mountain High Enough [[Greatest Music Party in the World)
Love Hangover [[same music video as Upside Down with Mahogany footage, but with bad aspect ratio, Top of the Pops)
Chain Reaction [[2022 Queen's Jubilee)

A nice program, despite it featuring clips I've seen many times before. I think I Will Survive on the National Lottery may have been the only one I hadn't seen before. I am now watching Live At Royal Albert Hall. Even though I've seen this show numerous times, the video quality is quite good.

Doing the same right now, using a VPN connection :).
Forgot to record it last night.
Never saw the whole Albert Hall Concert at once and never heard that JC Superstar Medley before.

Rather sadly, i found the whole Diana at the BBC segment a complete letdown. Grainy images of early 80’s videos, with foggy looking clips of Mahogany repeated on two songs. Further footage of Diana At the Albert Hall being redundant as this was the next programme to be screened anyway.
I never thought Diana singing “I Will Survive” would ever be a highlight, but definitely the case here. Probably the worst seen of this series, with Diana deserving better.
