# That you're joking with me? to me.

# And you don't really see you and me.

# And you don't really see you and me.

# Know what you're doing, doing, to me.

# Know what you're doing, doing, to me.

So, Edinburgh, thank you for letting us come and play in your Castle for

the night. We are very excited. This song is called Coming Home.

# Do you wish you hadn't stayed all night?

# Do you wish you hadn't gotten so high?

# Oh no... # Gotta go...

# Do you wish it wasn't half past gone?

# Do you wish you didn't last that long?

# Do you wish you hadn't come? # Oh no

# Gotta go # Gotta run

# May I remind you, # May I remind that you've got

nowhere to go. # So I'm staying beside you.

# I'm staying beside you 'til you find a way back home.

# Light a fire # We're coming home

# We'll write it down # We'll write it all down

# And we're dancing on the finest line

# Between the chance of the time of our lives

# Wishing you were done, oh no, gotta run

# May I remind you # May I remind that you've got no

where to go # So I'm staying beside you

# Staying beside you 'til you find a way back home

# Light a fire # We're coming home

# We'll write it down # We'll write it all down

# Then it all comes flooding back to me

# Like a forgotten melody from a dream

# Light a fire # We're coming home

# We'll write it down # We'll write it all down

# Light a fire # We're coming home

# We'll write it down # We'll write it all down

Thank you! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your host, Miss Alex

Jones. Thank you very much! Well, hello,

good evening and welcome to Live at Edinburgh Castle. It's so great to

be here. A huge thank you to the brilliant Kaiser Chiefs, weren't

they fantastic? Brilliant. What better way to start the celebration

they fantastic? Brilliant. What better way to start the here in

Scotland, just a few days ahead of what promises to be a fantastic

Commonwealth Games just over in Glasgow.

Over the next two hours performing live we are joined by some of the

biggest names in rock, pop, classical music and comedy, Bill

Bailey, Alfie Boe, Culture Club, Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott, Ella

Henderson, Jessie J, Katherine Jenkins, Fred McAlly, One Republic,

Pumeza, Rizzle Kicks and Smokey Robinson. The list just goes on and

on. Accompanying some of our artists will be Mike Stevens' band and the

BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra conducted this evening by Steve

Sidwell. Well, we have been having a bit of

fun with the weather in Edinburgh. Not so bad for some of you sitting

at home, we hear. It has cleared up a bit but we have to say a big

thanks to our lovely audience. They've sat here in their ponchos

waiting for the show to start. Thank you so much.

I tell you what, it will be, I promise, worth every single drop of

rain. OK. We may be outside, but what better venue for tonight's show

than the magnificent Edinburgh Castle. It's, believe it or not,

right behind us, they tell me. There is a bit of mist! For over 1,000

years it's clung to this rock giving shelter to Kings, protection to

people, and inspiration to writers. You may notice more than a passing

resemblance to the magical school of Hogwarts, for example. To this day,

the Castle dominates the skyline and every summer plays host to the world

famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. But tonight this stage will

play host to talent of a different kind. We saw them open the show and

I hope that the front man has got his breath back. Please welcome on

stage Ricky Wilson. Here he is.

Just one quick question, you look fantastic. Where is your kilt? I

don't think I have earned a right to wear one yet. I will do one day. I

think I have to earn it. I have seen my tartan, it's black and yellow, I

like it. We were hoping to see your legs. A fantastic opening. Thank you

so much. Saucy cow! It's BBC1, get off! All right, she's on stage

already. She's had ten hit singles, two brilliant albums and a third on

the way. She's sexy, sassy, show her some love, it's the unstoppable

Jessie J! Come on, let's get warm! On your

feet! # Seems

like everybody's got a price. # We don't need your money, money,

a good time. # We just wanna make

the world dance. # And it wasn't low blows and video,

video. # Can we all slow down

and enjoy right now? # Guarantee we'll be

feeling alright. # We don't need your money, money,

money. # We just wanna make

the world dance. Come on, you sing it to me. # Ain't

about it... # Wanna make the... # We don't need your money.

# I just wanna make Edinburgh Castle dance

# I just wanna make the world dance # Ain't about the ch-ching

# Ain't about the bl-bling # I just wantia make the world dance

# Forget about the price tag. band, everybody. That was fun. Are

you guys a little warmer now? I want to get one of those coats with

hoods. This next song is called Keep Us Together. I want you to hug

someone you'll of, and stay like that for this next song, please

enjoy it. # I started feeling

like everything's figured out. # Seems

like everybody's got a price. # It ain?t easy trying to stay

in love. # When it rains tell me we got

enough # Said we got enough

of our love to keep us together. # Arguments, back and forth,

disagreements. # Can we make it up, make it right,

can we fix this? # It ain?t always gonna be perfect,

baby. # It?s unpredictable,

but I feel so good about it. # Ain't nothing that we can

promise. # Said we got enough

of our love to keep us together. # When it rains tell me we got

enough Thank you so much.

Wasn't that fantastic? And I loved her gold shoes. And I think Todorov

has done the job because the coats are coming off. We have got some

great comedy coming up later, but for now, let's stick with the music

and with an army of fans, including Stephen Fry, two best selling

albums, please put your hands together for the brilliant Rizzle

Kicks! # Do you remember back in school

# When the boys and girls that could Yo, you might hear me make a racket

like Wilson. Cause I love summer no Rachel

Bilson. The winter will come,

We just have parties inside it's still fun.

(We're jammin') pump this (We're bangin').

Change your boyfriend (let's 'av him).

We're rowdy, girls make our judgement cloudy.

But when the sun comes through we're still alcys.

We don't wanna be lowsy, or shameless.

But we're running round like we're brainless.

Now I've got grass stains on my brand new white trainers.

Ummmm... I know a few guys hate us. They're as compelling as neighbours

so laters. It's blaters we've got our own

style, you know now. So go wild and get hosed down, n-no

no. Pardon me, just don't return that if

I wasn't older, you wouldn't want to dance with me. I was top boy in the

class, in my year. The headmaster, say yeah. I am looking at a bright

blue sky. Standstill, standstill! Good evening, everybody! Might as

well stick this back on, it is quite cold, isn't it? Thank you,

everybody. This next song is our new single, it is called Tell Her. Hope

you guys are having a good time! # Do you remember back in school

# When the boys and girls that could # So they get their friends to do

the do? # Cause I can't approach you,

no not today # So I sit back in the corner

Get my friends to say # Tell her I love her cause I'm

feeling shy # Tell her I love her cause I'm not

that guy # You've taken my fancy, you're

catching my eye # You've taken my fancy tonight

# Tell her I love her, # Tell her I love her (Ooo-oo-oo)

# It seems I haven't got the tools, # Yeah

To build my courage, baby ask you if you're cool

# I've sink into to the wall # And I'm waiting for a chance, baby

us to cross our paths # Cause I can't approach you, no not

today # So I sit back in the corner

# Get my friends to say # Tell her I love her cause I'm

feeling shy # Tell her I love her cause I'm not

that guy # You've taken my fancy, you're

catching my eye # Tell her I love her (Ooo-oo-oo)

# Tell her I love her cause I'm not that guy

# You've taken my fancy, you're catching my eye

# Tell her I love her (Ooo-oo-oo) # Tell her I love her (Ooo-oo-oo)

Tell her I love her Thank you very much, everybody. Have

fun! Thanks, guys, that was brilliant. It

is brilliant to see everybody getting into the dancing, including

our very own brass section and there they are. Now, there is a lot of

focus of course on Scotland over the coming weeks. Not only do we have

the Commonwealth Games to look forward to, but next month, every

theatre, club, function room and phone box will be crammed full of

comedians saying to packed audiences, as the city hosts the

Edinburgh festival French of course. The line-up reads like a Who's Who

of comedy, and our next guest has played there are so many times, it

is like his second home. He is not just really funny, he is brilliantly

clever, quick and musical as well. In fact, if I were to sum him up in

one word, it would be. Beardy Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the

wild imagination of Bill Bailey. Hello! What a fantastic setting.

Yes, it is true, I have played here many times in the festival. I

remember one year, I came up here, I needed a pair of bongos, as you do.

And I went to a drum shop and said, can I get a pair of bongos? And the

guy said to me coming yes, I will have a look. He came back and said,

I have got one pair left. Because right now it is the bongos season. I

love the idea of bongos being in season!

So I am a big fan of theme tunes, one of my favourites is Match of the

Day, what a great theme... Hold on!

It's fantastic, it's uplifting and great. A brilliant theme tune. But

it's versatile. I like to play in different versions. I am a big fan

of the lounge version. The thing is you can play it in

different keys, as well. The major key. It's jolly and uplifting. In

the minor key you get a different thing entirely. You get a soundtrack

to like a pole ircartoon. -- to a Polish cartoon.

# The tractor that would not start. # That's if you speed it up. If you

slow it right down and change it into the minor key you get something

totally different again. You get a Jewish folk song.

Thank you, see you later, cheers! Brilliant. I am pleased to say we

will be seeing a lot more of Bill later on in the show. Plus we have

got performances from Smokey Robinson, Culture Club are back

together right here on this stage. One Republic, Ella Henderson and Il

Divo. And we will be meeting a local boy turned national hero. I don't

want to give too much away but if I say it will be a good night from him

that might give you a little clue. First, I am very excited to

introduce this next lady. She's got style and sophistication by the

bucketload and a voice to die for. Please give a stupendous welcome to

the one, the only, Miss Paloma Faith.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING # I'd tell myself you don't mean

a thing. # But what we got,

got no hold on me. # But when you're not

there I just crumble. # I tell myself I

don't care that much. # But I feel

like I die 'til I feel your touch. # Only love can hurt like this.

only love can hurt like this. # Say I wouldn't care

if you walked away. # When you come close

I just tremble. # It's like a knife that

cuts right through my soul. # Only love,

only love can hurt like this. # Love is torture

makes me more sure. # 'Cause only love can hurt

like this. # And it must have been

the deadly kiss.# APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Thank you so much. Welcome to the great British summer time! For those

watching at home, it is basically just a grey cloud. Here's another

song. Let's dance. # We're getting close,

still goes on. # You changed

and I need a little loving. # I can't keep giving all

and get back nothing. # Come on, come on, boy,

just shake me. # 'Cause I know, I do,

too bad for you. # Don't know

if you're coming or going. # You changed

and I need a little loving. # I can't keep giving all

and get back nothing. # Come on, come on, boy,

just shake me. # 'Cause I know, I do,

too bad for you. # Momma said there'll be days

like this. # Now the whole knows I

got trouble with my baby. # Come on, come on, boy,

just shake me. # 'Cause I know, I do,

too bad for you. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Thank you. How good was that? Paloma is she

good. All right, we have a wonderful surprise for you now. Please welcome

on stage a local boy done good, it is, of course, Ronnie Corbett.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING # Travelling home on a through train

to Edinburgh, cash in my pocket and plenty to spare

# Wearing a school cap and travelling half fare,

# I love my height, it suits me # In spite of those big lads all

around, the ladies adore me, at least so I found

# I have a sporran that's nearer the ground... That's how I am starting!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Don't encourage me. No, it's

fantastic. The weather's cleared up. It just looks lovely. Are you all

right? Yes. Ladies and gentlemen, it's indeed - my wife and I

travelled up yesterday on a train, senior citizens, old aged

pensioners. Train fare, wait a minute, there is a routine here, I

knew I would forget it. Anyway, the senior citizens special pension

rates, at the end it all worked very well and we got our tickets and ?17.

So, it gives me great well and we got our tickets and ?17.

what I really come on here to do, to introduce to you my

what I really come on here to do, to and favourite singers, they are,

what I really come on here to do, to course, Alfie Boe and Katherine

Jenkins. # Now my dream is slowly coming

true. # The wind is a gentle breeze.

# Me hablo de ti. # It was the first time that we met.

# Barcelona. # Vive.

into the room. # And shake the foundations

from the skies. # Por ti sere gaviota

de tu bella mar. Absolutely stunning, thank you so

much. Brilliant. One minute we are having

hip-hop, and then it turns into an opera. Isn't it great? What an

incredible performance by two of the country's greatest voices. And a big

thank you to the London Community Gospel Choir. Now, then, are we all

warming up a bit? You at home, you are OK. You are nice and warm on the

sofa, but we are in the open-air. But you are all right? Good. Ladies

and gentlemen, right now, we have a fantastic two for one offer. Our

next performers produced a string of hits as part of the hugely

successful band Beautiful South. After ten years, they have got back

together again to sing together, please welcome Paul Heaton and

Jacqui Abbott! # Some girls lose their boys after

years # Standing in line, it?s

a question of time # Who?s gonna be the next broken

heart # Heart

belonged to a love so strong # I would love him ?til the day that

I die the Lord above # I lost him to a DIY

# She was so determined to take him right out of my hands # If you?re

idle enough they can # Steal from the very first dance # She was young

and pretty and young and pretty is better than I # But we gave them all

our kisses # Now they found another Mrs ?cause we # Lost him to a DIY #

Some women feel if you put her on a seal it # Will Keep your fella out

of reach # But it ain?t no soul you can grab them from below # That?s a

lesson every woman can teach # But my man was just the sort you could

trust # You could look a fella right in the eye # If it wasn?t

for deceiving but suddenly he was leaving ?cause we # Lost him to

a DIY # She was so determined to take him right out of my hands # If

you?re idle enough they can # Steal from the very first dance # She was

young and pretty and # Young and pretty is better than I # But we

gave them all our kisses now they # she?s wearing a dress # T ? H ? I ?

E and F She got high heels and she again # H ? I ? S ? T ? O ? R ? Y #

Come on folks, just an ordinary guy # She was so determined to take him

right out of my hands # If you?re # If you are idle enough, they can

steal from the very first dance. # Now they have found another misses

because we lost him to a DIY. ! Thank you all of you for coming this

evening, and the weather is finally brightening up. And thank you to the

band as well. # I think I might be happy if I

wasn't out with them. # And they're happy it's

a lovely place to be. # Happy that the fire is real

the barman is a she. # And

if you don't win then you've lost. # 'Cause they speak

a different language. # And it's never really

happened to me. # 'Cause they speak

a different language. # And it's never really

happened to me. # It's another night out with

the boss. # Following

in footsteps overgrown with moss. # And they tell me that

women grow on trees. # And if you catch them right

they will land upon their knees. # And they love to buy you all

a drink. # I think I might be happy if I

wasn't out with them. # And they're happy it's

a lovely place to be. # 'Cause they speak

a different language. # And it's never really

happened to me. # It's happy hour again and again

and again Well, isn't it good to see that Paul

has dressed for the weather? Practical. The atmosphere is

fantastic year, I hope you enjoyed that. Nice to hear a familiar track.

Moving on to a young woman who has won hearts and minds, and most

crucially, votes. She graduated from the X Factor in 2012, and went on to

top the charts with her very first number one single, Dosed. This is

the sensational Ella Henderson! # Cos I need something

that can wash off the pain # And at most

I'm sleeping all these demons away # But your ghost, the ghost of you

It keeps me awake # Yeah, they saw

what's inside of you # Your cold heart

makes my spirit shake # I had to go through hell

to prove I'm not insane # Had to meet the devil

just to know his name # Cos I need something

that can wash off the pain # And at most I'm sleeping

all these demons away # But your ghost, the ghost of you

It keeps me awake # Cos I need something

that can wash off the pain # And at most I'm sleeping

all these demons away # But your ghost, the ghost of you

It keeps me awake # I keep going to the river to pray

and you're creeping in # Cos I need something

that can wash off the pain # And at most I'm sleeping

all these demons away # But your ghost, the ghost of you

It keeps me awake # Cos I need something

that can wash off the pain # But your ghost, the ghost of you

It keeps me awake # Cos I need something

that can wash off the pain # And at most I'm sleeping

all these demons away # But your ghost, the ghost of you

It keeps me awake # Cos I need something

that can wash off the pain # And at most I'm sleeping

all these demons away # But your ghost, the ghost of you

It keeps me awake. # Thank you, Edinburgh. Are you having

an amazing night tonight? It is such a pleasure and honour to be here,

especially alongside such amazing acts. This next song is a personal

song of mine and it is one of my favourite covers to perform, this is

Believe. # You're gonna be the lonely one,

oh oh # I really don't think

you're strong enough, now # I really don't think

you're strong enough, now # I don't need you any more.

# I don't need you any more. # I really don't think

you're strong enough, now That was such a stunning version of

that song, even better than the original, maybe? For more home-grown

talent. He is one of Scotland's favourite comedians, please welcome

Fred MacAulay. Thank you, folks. This is incredible. What a gig! It's

such a massive year for Scotland. As you all know, in Scotland we have

that big day in September, when we are all going to get together and

watch the Ryder Cup. Cannot wait! It's a great gig. I know the

difference between good gigs and bad gigs, I have done tough gigs in my

time, ladies and gentlemen. 2003 they asked me to go to Iraq to

entertain the troops. That was a tough gig. Naively I assumed it

would have been the allied troops. Tough one. Last gig I was at like

this it was when Bob Geldof and Bono came to Murrayfield, do you remember

that. Bob came out on to the stage with Bono, it was like Gandalf with

a Hobbit. They came up to Scotland to make poverty history. Pretty much

kicked off the financial crisis. Sadly, they made poverty popular for

goodness sake. I was thinking about Bob's lyrics to the Band Aid song

because a few years ago one January, 2011, I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.

Yeah, thank you very much. That was tough, as well. It's a long, slow

plod and on the last day you climb up there and about teatime, you eat

loads of pasta and stuff and try and have a kip and get up at night and

put on all your clothes and try to climb up to the top of the mountain.

It was minus 18C. And a blizzard came in at 4.00am and all I could

think of were Bob's lyrics and there won't be snow in Africa this

Christmas time. There will. You know the other lyrics to that song, it's

Christmas time, no need to be afraid. It's Christmas time, we let

in light and we banish shade. Do you think that's a good idea? For my

Tanzanian friends, in the middle of summer, 54 Celsius. A temperature

that we in Scotland know little of. Even in cookery. I am

that we in Scotland know little of. too. Will we go and get some shade?

We can't. Bob's banned it. The worst lyric of all are at the end when

Bono himself sings, and tonight, thank God it's them, instead of you.

Possibly the least Christian sentiment I have ever heard in my

life. This is good for Scotland, we have the Commonwealth Games, so much

going on. Ladies and gentlemen, since I am here I have to say,

sadly, you no - he is no longer Wimbledon champion, but Andy Murray,

a Wimbledon champion from Scotland, yeah, good on you, Andy. I saw him

when he was - I saw him on TV going... I thought he had won. I

heard one of our politicians saying Andy Murray winning Wimbledon,

another example of Scotland punching above its weight. It's a shame that

we measure our successes in terms of violence and obesity. Now we are

going to have to crack on, on with the show. A band who have flown from

America to be with us this evening. Five lads, one incredible sound.

Give a mighty democratic Edinburgh welcome to the rebellious One

Republic! # But, baby, I've been, I've been

praying hard # I see this life like a

swingin' vine # Everything that kills me makes me

feel alive # Lately, I've been, I've been

losing sleep # We'll be counting stars

praying hard # Lately, I've been, I've been

losing sleep # Dreaming about the things that we

could be # But, baby, I've been, I've been

praying hard # Yeah

I feel this love # Young, but I'm not that bold

I don't think the world is sold # I'm just doing what we're told

I feel something so wrong # At doing the right thing

I could lie, could lie, could lie # Everything that drowns me makes me

want to fly # Lately, I've been, I've been

losing sleep # Dreaming about the things that we

could be # But, baby, I've been, I've been

praying hard # Lately, I've been, I've been

losing sleep # Dreaming about the things that we

could be # But, baby, I've been, I've been

praying hard # Said, no more counting dollars

We'll be, we'll be, counting stars # Take that money

Watch it burn # Take that money

Watch it burn # Sink in the river

The lessons I learned APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Thank you. This is the first time we have been here. We have to say it is

absolutely everything we imagined and we wouldn't be any happier if it

was sunny. We are glad we are in the clouds.

This is our new single Love Runs Out.

# I'll be the bright, in black that's makin' you run

# There's a maniac out in front of me

# Got an angel on my shoulder, and Mestopheles

# But Mama raised me good, Mama raised me right

# Mama said, "Do what you want, say prayers at night"

# And I?m saying them, 'cause I'm so devout

# 'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out, yeah

# I got my mind made up, man, I can't let go

# I'm killing every second 'til it saves my soul

# (Ooh) I'll be running. (Ooh) I'll be running

# 'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out

# And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down

# 'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out

# Oh, we all run for something Run for God, for fate

# I'll be the bright, in black that's makin' you run

# I got my mind made up, man, I can't let go

# I'm killing every second 'til it saves my soul

# (Ooh) I'll be running. (Ooh) I'll be running

# 'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Thank you guys.

Brilliant boys. One Republic everybody. And look who I found

dancing to One Republic back stage, it's Boy George! Hello you. Nice to

see you. Now, you did mention back in May that you were reforming. We

are all thrilled. How are you feeling tonight back on stage for

the first time in 15 years? Now we have a lovely audience, I am quite

excited now. Can't wait to get on with it, you know. You are a man

down, we have to mention. Yeah, Roy, unfortunately, is having an

operation on his knee. So, I tried to get him to come, but he couldn't

do it. We can do without him! I think I can speak on behalf of

everybody here and at home when I say we really are looking forward to

seeing you back on stage later on. Thank you. Absolutely. Boy George

everyone. Fantastic.

All right then. Let's bring on our next lot of superstars. They're the

international group who tasted global success and bring harmony

wherever they go. Please put your hands together as you are doing

beautifully for the very handsome Il Divo.

# Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me

# It was grace that taught my heart to fear

# Through many dangers, toils and snares

# It's grace that brought me safe this far

# When we've been here ten thousand years

# We've no less days to sing God's praise

Well, I do not know about you, but I am an emotional wreck. Brilliant,

Boyce. Shame one of them turned up late! Not really. Thank you as well

to pipe Major Alan Mowbray, from the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, who are

based here at Edinburgh Castle. And our lone piper will be back later on

with a few friends. Now,, they say you cannot have too much of a good

thing, and we wholeheartedly agree with them. So, we are giving you a

second helping of the man with comic genius and lovely fluffy hair.

Please welcome back the exceptional Bill Bailey!

Hello! Right, I want to try something with all of you, I want to

try to replicate the sound of the pipes we heard so magnificently. I

want you to be the drone, but constant note, and then we will try

and play a tune over the top. Here is your note, can you harm this for

me...? That is it, give it some more... That is it, OK. Right, here

we go. This is the BBC! Do not listen to

the others! They are false profits! Only us, we are the true way!

APPLAUSE Thank you, see you later. And there

will be more of Bill Bailey later on. Now, although we are all having

a ball here at Edinburgh Castle this evening, let's take a moment to

remember a great man who sadly is no longer with us. Now, yesterday would

have marked the 96th birthday of Mr Nelson Mandela, a man who brought

peace, justice, equality and reconciliation to his country, and

in doing so, inspired the world. To pay tribute to Nelson Mandela and

his many heroic achievements, we are joined by a singer who grew up in

the townships of South Africa and went on to win a scholarship at the

Royal College Of Music in London. She has been hailed as one of

opera's most exciting new voices. And tonight, performing Thula Baba

and O Mio Babbino Caro, please welcome Pumeza.

Wasn't that just incredible? And so atmospheric. But you don't care now,

do you, because we have got Alfie Boe here. You cannot have a big

concert, can you, Boe here. You cannot have a big

Boe? I got changed to go home Boe here. You cannot have a big

you called me back! I Barcelona was absolutely stunning,

it was epic, were you happy with how it went? I was thrilled, I am glad

everybody enjoyed it, and I must say , Edinburgh is the best city in the

world. We have had a brilliant welcome here. We are here because

the Commonwealth Games 1-0 next Wednesday, so what will you be

watching? Are you a fan? Oh, my goodness, I will be watching the

domino rally... Putting you on the spot. I continue, we do know you are

domino rally... Putting you on the a rock fan. Who are you most looking

forward to seeing? Culture Club of course, and the wonderful Smokey

Robinson. That is going to be great. He is literally out the back

this venue here, Alfie, it must help you with those high notes, it is a

magnificent place to seeing, isn't it? It is beautiful, and the people

make it even better. I will be doing it at the end of the year as well,

it is going to be fun. Alfie Boe, everybody! I think they are nearly

ready. A quick reminder that tonight's concept does contain

flashing images, so please bear that in mind at home. The battlements of

Edinburgh Castle have witnessed history being made. There have been

wars, sieges, murders and revolutions. But all of that is

nothing compared to what our next guests have been through. Please

welcome Culture Club! # Precious kisses

words that burn me. # Wrapped in sorrow,

words are token. # You've been talking

but believe me. # Everything's not what

you see it's over again. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Thank you very much. Hope you are going to come and see us when we

play in December and I hope you have a lovely evening. Happy birthday to

John's son Clyde who's 17 today. We are one big happy family. This is

your lies would you say. # Karma karma karma

if your colors were like my dream. # Didn't hear

your wicked words every day. # And you used to be so sweet I

heard you say. # Karma karma karma

Absolutely phenomenal. So brilliant to have you back. Wasn't it good?

Now then boys, come here. When we have recovered from that. Now, the

reason I have got Il Divo back on stage is because a little bird has

told us that it's actually your birthday today. Oh, yes. So,

audience, sing along, please, if you will. They've sung to you.

# Happy birthday # Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday indeed. # Happy birthday to you.

this. Hang on. Thank you so much. I can't believe this. I have a cake

for you. Thank you so wish. Three, two, one!

Happy birthday to you. Thank you so much. It's not just your birthday,

of course you boys are celebrating ten years together this year. Any

plans specifically? Well, we are touring. We are about to actually

come to Europe. This is how we are going to celebrate it because

there's nothing better than celebrating with an audience. You

are the best crowd here. And you have played all over the world in

venues everywhere. How does Edinburgh Castle compare? We know

the audience are fab. As a location, it's pretty special, isn't it? It's

amazing. We played here before, when was it? A few years ago. 2006 we did

a tour. It's unbelievable this environment. We are going to be soon

again back in the UK, it's October, touring over here. We are going to

be back very soon. Great. Boys, go and enjoy your cake. Happy birthday

again. Il Divo everybody! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Still to come we have Smokey Robinson. We are not finished yet.

For the final time this evening it's time to welcome Bill Bailey. Bill,

come and have a chat. They're not quite ready. We will put you on this

side. There you are. Now, I think you are the favourite

of the night so far. Oh. I love you too. What have you got planned for

the final instalment? The final instalment I am going to be

attempting to play popular songs on an instrument of my own devising.

It's a tuned car horns. The thing is with Bill Bailey he can do

everything. How many musical instruments can you actually play?

342. Have you just plucked that figure? Yes. Mainly keyboards.

Piano, horn, percussion, guitar. I will give it my best shot. We can't

wait to hear the last instalment. Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Bailey!

OK, a medley of popular songs. Take it away, Steve.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Do you want one more? One more! All

right then we will try. All right, the 1812 Overture.

Fantastic. Now, that was the last appearance by Bill Bailey this

evening, and a big thank you to him for being such an integral part of

this concert. It was a spectacular finish, but we are having some

complaints from the neighbours, so, if you are one of the families who

have lost your garden wall, we are very, very sorry. Once again, ladies

and gentlemen, Bill Bailey! So, the question is now, how do we top

that? And the answer is, with our very special next guest. Ladies and

gentlemen, we are in the presence of a living legend. He has been a

musical superstar for more than 50 years. He has released 100 singles

and recorded more than 4000 songs. The standout voice of Motown, a

one-man hit machine whose sound is burnt into our memories. It gives me

enormous pleasure to introduce the eternal genius of Mr Smokey

Robinson. # It's only there trying to fool

the public # But when it comes down to fooling

you # Now, honey, that's quite a

different subject # Really I'm sad, oh, sadder than

sad # Now, there's some sad things known

to man # But ain't too much sadder than

the tears of a clown # Now, if I appear to

be carefree # I try

to cover this hurt with # A show

of gladness # That I've been happy since you

decided to go # Oh, I need you so, I'm hurt and I

want you to know # Now, there's some sad things known

to man # Now, if there's a smile upon my

face # Really I'm sad, I'm hurting so

bad. # Excuse me, is this supposed to be

The Tracks Of My Tears?! Here comes Jessie J, and I love her so much!

# Don't be confused, the way is clear.

# And if you want it, you got it forever.

# You're gonna fly away, glad you're going my way.

# I love it when we're cruisin' together.

# I love it when we're cruisin' together.

# Everything's right, do what you must.

# And inch by inch we get closer and closer.

# To every little part of each other, oh baby yes.

# You're gonna fly away, glad you're going my way.

# I love it when we're cruisin' together.

# I love it when we're cruisin' together.

# And if you want it, you got it forever.

# You're gonna fly away, glad you're going my way.

# I love it when we're cruisin' together.

# I love it when we're cruisin' together.

# I love it when we're cruisin' together.

# I love it when we're cruisin' together.

# People say I'm the life of the party.

# Although I might be laughing loud and hearty.

# You'll see my smile looks out of place.

# If you look closer, it's easy to trace.

# Since you left me if you see me with another girl.

# Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute.

# You'll see my smile looks out of place.

# Yeah, look a little bit closer and it's easy to trace.

# Just a clown ooh yeah since you put me down.

# You'll see my smile looks out of place.

# Yeah just look closer, it's easy to trace.

# The tracks of my tears baby, baby baby baby.

# Yeah you'll see my smile looks out of place.

# Look little bit closer, it's easy to trace.

How good was that?! I think I will finally stop crying maybe at some

point this evening. I just glanced over and saw how brilliant the

castle looks as well. It is a perfect setting. Now, it has been a

summer of sport here in Britain, hasn't it? First of all we had a

tennis at Wimbledon. We have had the World Cup as well in Brazil

tennis at Wimbledon. We have had the all enjoyed. But this summer, the

spotlight is all enjoyed. But this summer, the

Scotland. Now, Edinburgh, tonight, and from Wednesday, Alaska will play

host to the 20th Commonwealth Games. The whole country is getting

behind it, the excitement is mounting, and records will be made

and broken. Preparations have been under way for five years. For the

past ten months, Queen's Baton Relay has been crossing continents, making

its way towards the very centre of the universe, right here in

Scotland. Second only to Wales! In that time it has covered 70 nations

and 120,000 miles, and the journey continues here tonight. Bringing the

baton into the castle, we have two of Scotland's finest sports

personalities, swimmer Greg or take and L col, accompanied by the Royal

Scots Dragoon Guards. Thank you so much. And to take the

baton on to Glasgow, please welcome back to the stage, Fred Mac Aulay.

Thank you very much. Ronnie, would you do us the honour of passing the

baton over to Fred, please. For this six yards. Yes, off you go. Well

done. Thank you very much. Thank you.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Thank you very much. Wow! A real

honour to accept this on behalf of the people and city of Glasgow from

you, Ronnie. I can promise you we are in for a terrific two weeks of

sport and sportsmanship. The world will be watching. Scotland will

deliver a fantastic show. Good luck to all the participants, especially

the home nations. I know you will do us proud. From me, good night.

Lovely. Off you go guys. Thank you so much.

Ronnie, let's go over here. Let's hear it again for the Royal Scots

Dragoon Guards. Fantastic. MUSIC: I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)

OK. Ronnie just stepped on my dress. We have had a little bit of a rip.

Never mind. It's no exaggeration to say we have had a truly wonderful

evening. I would like to say a very big thank you to all the performers

here, not least, of course, our beloved Ronnie Corbett. Thank you so

much. Also to all the people working back stage, to everyone in our

audience tonight. You have been the best audience. And especially to all

of you watching at home. Two years ago the country came together as

never before to clap, cheer and compete in the 2012 Olympics. But

now we are getting a second bite at the cherry as Glasgow hosts the 2014

Commonwealth Games. They start this Wednesday. You can catch all the

action right across the BBC. If the competitors get just a 10th of the

welcome we have had tonight in Edinburgh, it's going to be a truly

fantastic Games. To bring the evening to a rousing, pyrotechnics

finish we have a man who knows how to write a crowd-pleaser. Please

raise the Castle roof for the fantastic MrJohn Miles with his epic

song Music. They're nearly ready. Here we go. Ronnie, we will fill.

Right. A round of applause to everybody in the show this evening.

They've been fantastic. What was your highlight, Ronnie? The whole

evening has been fantastic. Hasn't it? It's been opera, hip hop. And

your amazing performance, darling, holding it together. Thank you,

Ronnie. I think they're ready. Again, please give a big welcome to

MrJohn Miles with his epic song Music and it's good night from the

both of us. Ronnie, say good night. Good night.
