Pop Music on British Television 1955 - 1999

A series of bought-in concerts played as a kind-of Whistle Test comes to BBC1. Hosted by Ann Nightingale the shows consisted of half-hour edited versions of sell-through live concert tapes, or shows bought from foreign channels or production companies. Nothing appeared to be generated by the BBC itself. There would be similar attempts to do this by Channel 4 on a Friday evening with High band when the Tube went on its summer holidays.


To confuse matters as soon as the BBC had finished with the name it was pinched by ITV's TVS for a similar series of concerts in 1988.
