Editing Later... with Jools Holland (section)

==Special editions==
Occasional special editions of the show showcase a major artist under the ''Later...'' banner, with the ''Later presents...'' title. Artists featured in these shows have included [[Alice in Chains]] in 1992, [[Paul Weller]] and [[Metallica]] in 1996, [[R.E.M.]] and [[the Verve]] in 1998, [[Oasis (band)|Oasis]] in 2000, [[Radiohead]] in 2001 and 2007, and the [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] in 2007. The bands 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 (M People song)|Dreaming]]".

Special editions broadcast on New Year's Eve each year are referred to as ''Jools Holland's [[Hootenanny (UK TV series)|Hootenanny]]'' and are pre-recorded, typically in early December.<ref name=Guardian200 /> In 2003 a 'Spring Hootenanny' was broadcast, which proved to be a one-off.

In 2017, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the show, a ''Later 25''<ref>{{cite web|title=Later 25|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b096k4w2|website=BBC Two|publisher=BBC|access-date=26 November 2017}}</ref> show was held at London's [[Royal Albert Hall]] - it was recorded on 21 September 2017 and broadcast two days later on the 23rd. The setup was roughly similar, with bands located around the arena of the Hall with some artists also on the stage. The 2 hour long show featured 10 artists.

Repeated excerpts from the show were broadcast under the title ''A Little Later'' as fill-in programmes on [[BBC HD]], while in 2022, BBC Four had a number of new ''Later'' compilations made for the channel,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001c94d/later-with-jools-holland-uk-rap-grime-and-hiphop | title=Later...
