Katy doing the uk headlines for the show with no name, seems a bit odd considering Christian is in London.

Christian doing it currently at 21:47. Him and Katty must do one each.

I've noticed that from next weekend, for at least 2 weeks (according to current Digiguide listings), BBC One are showing edited 15 minute versions of The Two Ronnies Sketchbook as a filler at 9:45pm (following the Proms), followed by the news at 10 o'clock.

Surely it would make more sense to either extend the Proms coverage and/or start the news earlier, as it often doesn't start at 10 on Saturdays anyway.

I would assume that extending the Proms coverage isn't an option.

Very little chance of that.

Has the Proms ever overrun?

The Last Night of the Proms can be a very fluid in its off air time, but a lot of Proms concerts are actually time delayed by half an hour or so and don’t generally overrun, because there is a fixed programme of music and encores are not usual (in the standard concerts at any rate).

Correct. Normally Proms coverage starts at 8 or 8.30, but the concerts always start earlier at 7.30. I go every year, and found out. When Katie Derham (or whoever) are doing the intro, it is usually recorded during the interim, or even as the previous prom is finishing.

Are they available outside the UK?

The TV versions are almost certainly geoblocked, but you should be able to listen to any of them.

BBC Proms concerts used to be relayed on the BBC World Service but I don’t know if they still are.
