All the musical cast performances from two lengthy BBC TV special. 

The first being their annual telethon and the second an even longer running Royal special.

The former filmed Live in the BBC studios the later recorded live on stage at a West end theater.

All performances are totally live and feature the current west end cast of the show in question.

All songs are chapter indexed separately. 

Picture and stereo sound is excellent throughout although the 

BBC did beep out curse words in "Avenue Q".

Bonus footage is from the BBC's longest running kid's show

who did a feature on one of the three boys playing "Kurt" in

"the sound of music" following him on a 'normal' day and then

performing, with the rest of the cast, live in the studio.
