Every country, it seems, has its own quirky New Year TV traditions. In Germany, every 31 December people sit down to watch Dinner For One, an obscure British comedy sketch from the early 1960s. In Russia, they watch a three-hour film called The Irony Of Fate. In the UK, we have Jools Holland’s Annual Hootenanny.
It’s been running every year on BBC2 since 1994 and this year’s musical buffet is as varied as we’ve come to expect. In the legends’ slot there is Ronnie Wood, who’ll be performing material from his recent solo anthology Fearless. There’s also Lulu, who has a new memoir out, If Only You Knew.
