For BBC Worldwide to be able to launch its 3D offering with
three titles of this calibre is truly fantastic."

her outstanding career, playing loved classics alongside her
latest hits, this is guaranteed to be one of Britney's most
entertaining shows to date.

in August 2011 in stunning 3D at the sold-out Air Canada show
in Toronto, BBC Worldwide has attained distribution rights
outside the USA. The 2D version will be available for broadcast
from Christmas Eve 2011, with the 3D version available in
February 2012.
Alice
Cooper's Halloween Night of Fear will see the performer take
to the stage at Alexander Palace on 29 October for an evening
of thrills, blood spills, guts and gore. The set of over 20
songs will include classics such as School's Out as well as
tracks from his brand new album. The two-hour 'as live'mix
