Today’s pick

George Michael at the BBC

Radio 2, 7pm

Two hours of George Michael

talking to — and performing

for — the BBC’s microphones

is a must for fans. The story

begins with his emergence

as one half of Wham! before

global fame struck. Michael,

right, who died in 2016,

discusses songwriting,

his relationship with the

press, politics and the music

industry with interviewers

including Kirsty Wark, Simon

Bates, Steve Wright, Chris

Evans and Michael Parkinson.

The night includes his BBC

Radio Theatre concert from

1996, featuring songs such as

You Have Been Loved, Father

Figure and Freedom! ’90.
