Pick of the Day
Oasis at the BBC, 8.35pm, BBC Two
With Oasis's long-awaited reunion and the band's sell-out run of concerts finally just around the corner, this programme dives into the BBC's music archives for a celebration of the band.
It also kicks off a night of programming around the band that helped to musically define the 1990s.
Featuring the early mission statements that were Rock 'n' Roll Star, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Wonderwall, Slide Away and Champagne Supernova, it's a compilation that helps explain the Oasis phenomenon.
It also demonstrates why and how Liam, Noel and co became one of Britain's biggest bands.
Oasis: Right Here, Right Now follows at 10.20pm.
It’s a documentary, originally broadcast in 1997, following the band as they discussed their career to date, revisited their old neighbourhood in Manchester and performed songs from their album Be Here Now.
Then at 11pm there’s Later Presents Oasis, where Jools Holland introduces a studio concert by the Gallagher brothers, first shown in April 2000.
Songs performed include the number one Go Let It Out, as well as earlier hits such as Wonderwall, Some Might Say and Supersonic.
