Posted November 23, 20213 yr Airing on BBC2 this Christmas! I imagine they’ll air the same night and expect a huge iTunes boost from some of her albums after! Madonna at the BBC A look back at a selection of magical Madonna moments on a range of BBC shows - from her first ever Top of the Pops appearance with Holiday in 1984, right up to the present day. This collection covers Madge’s journey from Material Girl to Queen of Pop. It captures how, over the years, her ability to combine charisma, controversy and classic pop tunes has made her a female icon and a true global superstar. Madonna: Truth or Dare A behind-the-scenes look at Madonna's 1990 Blonde Ambition tour, which saw the Queen of Pop perform to 800,000 people across Japan, the USA, Canada, Sweden, Spain, the UK, Italy and France. This intimate film, which was last broadcast on the BBC in 2003, explores Madonna’s relationships with her dancers, crew, family and friends - including her famous encounters with Warren Beatty, Sandra Bernhard and Kevin Costner. It features performances of songs including Express Yourself, Oh Father, Like A Virgin, Holiday, Live To Tell, Vogue, Causin' A Commotion, Keep It Together and Family Affair
November 23, 20213 yr Author Feel like Madonna doesn’t do many UK performances so will be nice to see a compilation of them. I know there’s a few Top of the Pops performances, Frozen at the National Lottery, Hung Up on Children in Need, American Life/Hollywood on Jonathan Ross (think he was on BBC at the time) and 2008’s Radio 1 Big Weekend.
November 24, 20213 yr Please not the pink wig again.....Happy to see 'You'll See' again though; the performance is ok but she looked great. And please don't show anything from Eurovision!!!!!!!!
November 24, 20213 yr Author And please don't show anything from Eurovision!!!!!!!! Oh god they probably will. Was trying to think what would cover the “right up to the present day” part of the synopsis as all the Rebel Heart performances were on ITV.
November 24, 20213 yr She has been on Jonathan Ross when he was on BBC American Life, Dont Tell Me, Hollywood performed. I think Hung Up was performed on CIN Top Of The Pops Holiday Like A Virgin Youll See The Power Of Goodbye Music Hollywood National Lottery Frozen
December 1, 20213 yr Author Confirmed for Saturday 18th December, starting with Madonna at the BBC at 9pm, Desperately Seeking Susan at 10pm and Truth or Dare at 11.40pm.
December 6, 20213 yr I'm quite excited for this. I recently rewatched You'll See and Power of Goodbye on TOTP through YouTube. Looking forward to seeing all the performances again... even the pink wig if I have to!!
December 17, 20213 yr Tonight's the night! Thank you for the reminder!! Just set Sky+. It's tomorrow night though, isn't it?
December 17, 20213 yr Author Ah yes you’re right, I’m getting confused with the music nights that BBC 4 usually have on Fridays.

December 19, 20213 yr Thanks Dandy! It was a nice watch and brilliant to see classic Madonna on prime time tv again!
December 19, 20213 yr Turns out she hasn't performed as much at the BBC as the makers probably thought, with them showing four music videos :lol: It was still a fun show to watch, with the Frozen performance being my highlight as I had never seen that one before. It was so epic!

It was so epic! Or it was a tactic to fill up time to avoid playing the Eurovision performance :kink:
