It''s days like this when I wish I still had a television set!

To celebrate her 64th birthday, and the current world-wide phenomena, BBC2 tonight - Saturday, July 30 - is dedicating the entire evening to Kate Bush:

7pm - 8pm: Top Of The Pops 1978 - Big Hits
"A selection of classic songs from 1978, a year in which punk music and new wave rebellion co-existed with pop, disco, soul, reggae and prog rock. Featuring appearances on the show by Ian Dury, Elvis Costello, Blondie, Bob Marley, the Boomtown Rats, Kate Bush, Sham 69, Brotherhood of Man, Dan Hill, Boney M, 10cc and Manfred Mann's Earth Band"
8pm - 9pm: Kate Bush at the BBC
"A compilation of the singer's performances at the BBC's studios between 1978 and 1994. Bush appeared on a variety of programmes, including Top of the Pops, Wogan, Ask Aspel, Saturday Night at the Mill and the Leo Sayer Show. Featuring the hits Wuthering Heights, Babooshka, Running Up That Hill and Hounds of Love, as well as intriguing and lesser-known material"
9pm - 10pm: The Kate Bush Story - Running Up That Hill
"Documentary exploring the singer-songwriter's career and music from her 1978 debut single Wuthering Heights to her 2011 album 50 Words for Snow with testimony from collaborators, fellow artists inspired by her work and fans. Featuring David Gilmour, the guitarist who discovered Bush, as well as Peter Gabriel, Elton John, Stephen Fry, Outkast's Big Boi and Steve Coogan"
10pm - 10:45pm: Kate Bush at the BBC 1979
"A Christmas special from 1979 in which the musician performs songs including Gymnopedie No 1, Symphony in Blue, Them Heavy People, Madrigal, December, Wedding List, Egypt, Ran Tan Waltz, Man with the Child in His Eyes and Don't Push Your Foot on the Heartbreak. Peter Gabriel joins Kate for a rendition of Another Day and sings Here Comes the Flood"
