Unbelievable as it may seem, I doubt the Beeb would have got it wrong :-

Although this is obviously just a one-off, I'm still stunned. This is one reunion I never thought would happen.

It would be almost like winning the lottery to get one of those tickets.

I would guess that they will play for about 20-30 minutes maximum with so many other artists involved. On that basis what do you think they should or will play?

Echoes
The advantage of this is that they would only have one song to rehearse ;);D

Seriously though, I would have thought we'll get something like
Money
Another Brick in the Wall pt2
Wish You Were Here
Comfortably Numb

…songs that people who aren't fans will recognise.

I wouldn't be surprised if 'The Tide Is Turning' isn't played along with one of the above.
