Fear not, we are now making them available on-line and via on-demand services. The new series called Curtains Up launches later this month with a wonderful hour-long entertainment from the inimitable Gyles Brandreth. Other familiar favourites will follow with live-streamed shows from Reverend Richard Coles, Lucy Worsley, Paul Atterbury, and Dan Cruickshank.
But first up will be Gyles whose show, The 7 Secrets of Happiness, will be live-streamed on 23rd and 24th October. Tickets are on sale now.
It finds the  actor, writer. wit and raconteur in full flow delivering gems of wisdom from his own best-selling book about his pursuit of the secrets of happiness. Gyles, who is also a former MP and government whip, says he started out in the House of Commons and ended up in the psychiatrists chair.
We learn what he discovered about who gets to be happy and how. There are also  some useful lessons picked up along the way, from The Queen, the prime minister and Mick Jagger among others.
The result is an amazing hour that will make you laugh and could change your life. It could extend your life, too. Research shows that happy people live seven to ten years longer.
So book tickets today and watch the multi-talented One Show reporter, QI and Just A Minute regular and Chancellor of the University of Chester reveal the 7 Secrets of Happiness.
Future shows in the Curtains Up series will include Dan Cruickshank exploring how Soho has changed over the years and what the future holds for what he describes as the beating heart of London.
