Jessie J and Craig David have both releasesd albums in the last few months, so they're pretty current.

Absolutely, and the incredibly talented Olivia Dean had a new album out in September, which is currently the No1 selling album.

Personally I thought it was one of the best Hootenanny's I've seen in many a year, great range and spread of artists, thoroughly enjoyed pretty much all of it - Imelda may impressed me a lot, didn't recognise her with the loss of the quiff and general 50's style.
The only act I wasn't very taken with were the Kooks, but even then I can recognise a decent band, just not my cup of coffee.

One observation is that the size of bagpiper band appeared to be hugely reduced, I could have sworn it used to be somewhere in the region of ~20 musicians, but on NYE it was 5 or 6 I think.

It's been all our family have watched at NY eve/midnight since it started way back in the last century, and I have continued that when I moved into my own home in the early 00s. Can't think of a better way to bring in the new year than an eclectic mix of live music.

The night manager has already been mentioned - watched the 1st and 2nd episodes (All that is available currently) and have so far found it just as captivating as the first series a decade ago 9/10 for me.
I do miss Tom Hollander who is one of my favourite actors of all time.
 
Watched Operation Mincemeat on BBC2 (Freeview https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002p282). Uncertain if it was a TV program or a film.

It was interesting but I found it rather slow, maybe I was more interested in the documentary aspects whereas the program/film was more a drama. Well made, well acted, etc. but not for me but I can see others might enjoy it.

It's a remake of The Man Who Never Was (1956).

Also now a hugely successful stage musical. No. I have no idea how on earth they've done that, given the subject matter. ^_^
