Special Editions
Occasional special editions of the show showcase a major artist under the Later... banner, titled "Later presents...". Artists featured in these shows have included Metallica in 1996, R.E.M. and The Verve in 1998, Oasis in 2000, Radiohead in 2001 and 2007, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 2007. The band in question play for the duration of the hour-long show. Despite the different name, the show is still introduced by Jools Holland and takes place in a similarly set-up studio.
The special episode featuring M People in 1998 was later released on video and DVD under the title One Night in Heaven. Also, a selection of the songs from the programme have been released on the limited edition of The Best of M People album and as a b-side to the single "Dreaming".
Special editions broadcast on New Year's Eve each year are referred to as Jools Holland's Hootenanny and are advance-recorded. In 2003 a 'Spring Hootenanny' was broadcast, which proved to be a one-off.
Repeated excerpts from the show have been broadcast under the title A Little Later particularly as fill-in programmes on BBC HD.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or editions:
“We defy augury. There’s a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, ‘tis not to come. If it be not to come, it will be now. If it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
