Tonight (1957 TV series)

Tonight was a BBC television current affairs programme presented by Cliff Michelmore and broadcast in Britain live on weekday evenings from February 1957 to 1965. The producers were the future Controller of BBC1 Donald Baverstock and the future Director-General of the BBC Alasdair Milne. The audience was typically seven million.

BBC TV background

Tonight was, like Six-Five Special, created by the BBC to fill in the 'Toddlers' Truce' closed period between 6.00pm and 7.00pm (the 'Truce' was officially abolished only a few days before Tonight was first broadcast). Tonight began broadcasting from the Viking studio in Kensington, known by the BBC as 'studio M'. It eventually transferred to one of the main studios in Lime Grove, Shepherd's Bush, west London.

Content and style

The programme covered the arts and sciences as well as topical matters and current affairs. There was a mixture of incisive and light-hearted items: unscripted studio interviews, by Derek Hart, Geoffrey Johnson-Smith and Michelmore himself; and filmed reports. Reporters included Alan Whicker, Fyfe Robertson, Kenneth Allsop, Chris Brasher, Julian Pettifer, Brian Redhead and Polly Elwes.

Tonight (TrueBliss song)

"Tonight" is the 1999 debut single of New Zealand girl group TrueBliss, the first ever group to be formed under the Popstars banner, as part of the 1999 TVNZ series. "Tonight" debuted at number one in the New Zealand charts, remained in the top 40 for 10 weeks, and was certified platinum.

Background

"Tonight" was written and produced by Silver Scroll-winning songwriter Anthony Ioasa as part of the Popstars television programme. The single included a karaoke version of the song and a cover of the 1992 Kylie Minogue song "Closer". The song was also the opening track on TrueBliss' debut album Dream.

Music video

A music video was made for the single, directed by Andy Gale. It features TrueBliss at a slumber party, relaxing on a beach, hanging out on the street, eating at a diner, and dancing by a pool. The making of the music video was shown as part of Popstars.
