We looked into copyright laws through the BBC Academy, the UK Copyright Service and various forums online, and we found that it would likely cost quite a lot of money to play most songs on a broadcast. We thought we could get around this by getting in contact with a band that could play covers of songs, but the lyrics and composition would still be subject to copyright. As well as this, we would need to place a lot of faith in a band to perform for us, and since we do not have contact with any bands that would do this sort of thing, this did not seem particularly viable.
Helen also made us aware of a show that aired in 1976-1988 and returned briefly in 1997 - Name That Tune. This show has a very similar format to what we had envisaged, and although there were some key differences, we feel that ours fell a bit too close to this concept and so decided to focus our efforts towards my time travel history show.
