Here's our fortnightly look at what's coming up under the red button...

Ö÷²¥´óÐã Proms 2009: Maestro Cam

Ö÷²¥´óÐã Proms For the 2009 Proms season Ö÷²¥´óÐã Red Button is introducing a brand new feature: 'Maestro Cam'.
Over the course of five concerts the service will give digital viewers a unique insight into the art of conducting. A dedicated camera will capture the conductor's every intonation and flourish while the mentors from Ö÷²¥´óÐã Two's Maestro series - Matthew Rowe, Peter Stark and Jason Lai - provide commentary discussing the gestures and the orchestra's response.
Among the conductors involved in this project are Daniel Barenboim, Vasily Petrenko and Ilan Volkov.

For full details of the Proms season visit the Ö÷²¥´óÐã Proms website.

The National Lottery: Guesstimation

GuesstimationThis summer Nick Knowles invites digital viewers to deploy their skill and judgement to out-guess his studio contestants. Over three exciting rounds two family teams will face a series of unusual, fun and occasionally head-spinning brain teasers. Their mission is simple: guess closest to the correct answer. Meanwhile Red Button viewers get the chance to weigh-up their own on-screen options. Will your guesses earn YOU living room bragging rights? It's just a question of judgement.

The National Lottery: Guesstimation showcases the Dream Number draw which raises funds for many of the venues that will be hosting events at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Comedy Extra

Comedy Extra2009 has been a great year for comedy with a raft of exciting new shows airing on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Two. And digital viewers in the mood to tickle the red buttons on their remotes have been able to keep the laughter going after the programmes have finished.

The latest show to get the Ö÷²¥´óÐã Red Button treatment is Taking The Flak, the comedy-drama covering the progress of a small African war through the eyes of the journalists sending the nightly reports back for the news. Every week under the Red Button, Comedy Extra will be featuring new material and exclusive footage from the Flak location in Africa.

We've also rolled out the red carpet for That Mitchell and Webb Look. Grab your digital remote as Robert and David introduce a gaggle of sketches you won't see in the main programme along with a unique series of animations from their radio show commissioned just for Ö÷²¥´óÐã Red Button.
