I should have started a thread for this show two years ago, but when someone posted this on Facebook recently I figured better late than never:


Old Friends finished its limited West End run one month ago, but a recording of the original May 2022 tribute concert was released this past December.  A year earlier, on New Year's Eve 2022/3, a video capture of the concert had been broadcast on BBC2.

Hopefully that capture will make it across the pond eventually as a cinecast, streaming or PBS offering.  (For some reason a Broadway transfer, at B'way prices, actually interests me less).
