The show is in its 24th year.\\n\\nHow has it survived when other series such as Top of the Pops and CD:UK have become part of music history?\\n\\nExecutive producer Alison Howe says it\\u2019s down to the programme\\u2019s simplicity in \\u201cputting together a show that offers a rich and varied mix of live music being performed in one room in one go\\u201d.\\n\\nIn one show you can see unknown acts making their debut next to more established artists, as Adele did when she played in 2011 alongside Bj\\xf6rk and Paul McCartney.\\n\\nZoe Nicholson, the show\\u2019s production coordinator, is responsible for getting everyone down to the Maidstone Studios in Kent every week. There are sound checks on Mondays and camera rehearsals on Tuesdays before the evening recording and live transmission. Like working on any live TV show, there are quite a few challenges, but the main one Zoe says is \\u201cmaking sure everyone sticks to the schedule!\\u201d\\n\\nFor Zoe, a music fan herself, there\\u2019s a special privilege being in a small studio whilst world-renowned musicians perform together.'
