In case anyone had forgotten that Ken Bruce was bringing his legendary quiz to the box in PopMaster TV (More 4, Monday-Friday), the host and contestants reminded us at regular intervals.

“The UK’s best-loved radio music quiz is on the telly!” said Bruce. “Hi Ken, we’re on the telly!” said contestant Kimmie.

You might accuse Bruce of rubbing his old BBC bosses’ noses in the fact that he had escaped Auntie and taken his copyrighted quiz with him, but that is not his style. On PopMaster TV, everything is super, smashy, nicey in a non-ironic way. How super, smashey, nicey? The contestants applaud each other’s answers. And they mean it, too.

In keeping with the show’s retro air, the set had vinyl circles plastered everywhere. Even Ken’s desk looked like one big stack of LPs with him plonked in the middle (a tad snugly, I have to say. A few extra biscuits a day and the fire brigade will be cutting him out of the thing by the end of the series.) There were special rounds just for the telly, complete with fancy video clips, but shut your eyes for a moment and you could have been back in the good old days of Ken on Radio 2 every morning. But then you would have missed Ken’s flowery shirts, which were definitely made for radio.

In Rose Ayling-Ellis: Signs of Change (BBC1, Monday), the winner of Strictly Come Dancing - imagine what would happen if the BBC lost that to commercial telly; the PM would have to resign - was given the keys to make her own documentary, and what a terrific job she made of it. This was not a celebrity taking viewers on a light tour of this or that condition. It was a proper, hard-hitting, well-argued film that highlighted a genuine injustice - in this case, the struggle to have British Sign Language fully accepted. It is recognised as a language in law, thanks to a bill by the Labour MP Rosie Cooper, who appeared in the programme. But as Ayling-Ellis shows, too many still see BSL as “inferior” to speaking when it is actually the most accurate and expressive way of communicating.

There were ideas here that might have been new to many viewers who had only seen Ayling-Ellis on Strictly, but she cut through the complexities with verve and wit.

It was disturbing to learn that her mother had to pay for private BSL lessons because specialists said Rose, now 28, would never speak if she was taught it. Later in the film, she met a mum who had seen her on Strictly. Despite the passage of years, this family too had no access to free BSL classes.

What a truly impressive young woman. Give her the keys to the documentary cupboard again.

If Ayling-Ellis made the spirits soar, Secrets of the Bay City Rollers (STV, Thursday) brought them crashing back to earth. Nicky Campbell took viewers through the story. “These were boys from the estates of my own city, Edinburgh, who made it to the top,” he said by way of introduction.

The capital was not the only link between presenter and subject, with the broadcaster and former Edinburgh Academy pupil knowing only too well the evil that could lurk behind closed doors. Sometimes they were not even closed: the Rollers’ manager and chief abuser, Tam Paton, held parties at his house outside Edinburgh for his pals to do as they pleased with the children paraded before them.

Viewers of a certain age, particularly in Scotland, would have been familiar with the story, but Campbell’s informed retelling of it, together with new interviews, made for a compelling, moving, and ultimately enraging hour. How could society be so blind to what was going on?

It was bizarre to see again those early days of the Rollers and the tartan-clad hysteria that went with them. What should have been a daft, joyous time for these boys was turned instead into a living hell. This was particularly the case with Les McKeown, represented in the film by his widow and son.

Others have sought peace in other ways. One survivor, Stuart “Woody” Wood, acknowledged locking the bad stuff away and choosing to make something positive out of those years by touring with a Rollers-themed band. Good luck to one and all.

There have been many tributes following Elton John’s appearance at Glastonbury, all of them deserved. What a man, what a band, so many classics. Young and old in the audience seemed to know every word of each hit. Okay, the special surprise guests did not live up to the rumours. When you are expecting Lady Gaga, anyhing else doesn’t quite cut it.

To all the five-star reviews he received, I can only add that this house stayed up well past bedtime, an event that would usually only occur if something awful happened, like a lightning strike or an alien invasion.

Life suddenly felt very rock n’ roll. Did you know it was light at 10pm?
