Starlight (television)




Following the resumption of BBC television in 1946 , ''Starlight'' was one of the few pre-war programmes to return, and it ran for a further three years until 1949 . A Variety Show , the programmes would feature comedians, singers, dancers and various other entertainment acts. One notable edition of the 1930s gave popular singer Gracie Fields her first ever television appearance.

As with all other BBC programmes of the time, ''Starlight'' was transmitted Live from the studios at Alexandra Palace . The shows were not recorded, and no material other than still photographs exists for the series today.
