Video descriptions from Live at the Apollo always neglect to credit the acts shown. Is this acceptable in England? In the States we are very particular about this sort of thing. And I believe that Equity is somewhat keen on it as well. I used to work with a BBC editor in Bristol who had the same tendency to benefit from the performances of others without properly crediting them in the description. He at least introduced everyone in the video. But the videos from Live at the Apollo go one further by excluding any mention of the performers' names. Not so much as a title card or banner. A proper call to action with names and social media for each performer listed in chronological order with timestamps would appear very professional, greatly benefit the performers, incentivize performers to be included, and would require very little work to implement.

Or you could calm down, and enjoy JACK DEE, live at the Apollo (God of the Arts) Theatre. I don't know when, I'm happy just to enjoy Mr DEE.
Well said
