Light entertainment

Light entertainment is the broad range of usually televisual performances. These include comedies, variety shows, quiz/game shows, sketch shows and people/surprise shows.

Britain

In the early days of the BBC virtually all broadcast entertainment would be considered light by today's standards, as great pains were taken not to offend audiences—which is not to say that they always succeeded in this.

Singers, magicians and comedians were drafted from the music hall circuit to fill the schedules. Stage acts were transferred directly to screen and in the case of productions such as Sunday Night at the London Palladium the broadcasts actually came from large theatres. Many future household names, including The Beatles, were given their first public airings during these programmes, which attempted to cater for varying tastes through staging variety acts. Bruce Forsyth was one of several hosts for the show and went on himself to present the studio-based Generation Game which remains a landmark in the light entertainment genre. The Generation Game revolved around the now-common television standby of getting members of the public to provide the entertainment themselves by doing silly things for prizes.The show's format was somewhere between the old variety programmes and the increasingly ubiquitous quiz shows and it and its descendants still appear in the television schedules.

Light Entertainment

by: Automatic

I've Seen it all every Gallery and Concert hall
Those long dead faces and melodies I've heard before
And when we reach the end, what's the point behind it all?
Light entertainment so we forget the place we're in
I've been paying close attention
I've been on the edge of my seat
Waiting for an answer to the question
The question that's been on my mind
I can't enjoy this entertainment
I can't enjoy myself
Because concentrating to hard on
Not questioning what's going on
We do our finest work in surroundings decay
And now I find myself imagining the end
Bricks crumbling, the roof is finally caving in
I new this day would come but I though I'd be out of here
After all
We'll start again
Your calling out the shots
and all because the things we are
We're waiting out the war, the war
I've been paying close attention
I've been on the edge of my seat
Waiting for, yeah I've been waiting for
I can't enjoy this entertainment
I can't enjoy myself
Because I'm concentrating
Not questioning
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
After all
We'll start again
Your calling out the shots
And all because the things we are
We're waiting out the war
After all (Ive Seen it all)
We'll start again (Every gallery and concert hall)
Your calling out the shots (those long dead faces and melodies I've heard before)
And all because the things we are (And when we reach the end, what's the point behind it all?)
