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.

Tonight (Jay Sean song)

"Tonight" is a single by British R&B artist Jay Sean. The single was released on 18 January 2009 (iTunes) and 26 January 2009 (CD single), but the music video for the single was released much earlier, on 17 November 2008. The single is the fourth and final single from his second album My Own Way.

History

On 15 October 2008, Jay Sean announced that he had signed with American Hip-Hop label Cash Money Records, on the back scene at MOBO Awards. Jay explained “It’s always been a dream for me to sign to an American label. And it’s great to be accepted by the best in the game.”

The single includes a remix featuring rapper Lil Wayne, as Cash Money Records is releasing a remix in order to introduce Jay Sean to the American market. However the remix was canceled, and Sean recorded a new single for the American market called "Down" featuring Lil' Wayne.

My Own Way: Deluxe Edition was released on 16 February 2009 in the U.K. was set for release in the U.S., however the idea has been shelved and Jay Sean is working on a new album for the American market. The lead single is "Tonight" which was released on 26 January 2009. The album also has 2 additional songs, "Never Been In Love" and "I'm Gone", and 4 additional remixes.

The Number of the Beast (album)

The Number of the Beast is the third studio album by the English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released in March 1982. It was their first release to feature vocalist Bruce Dickinson and their last with the late drummer Clive Burr.

The Number of the Beast met with considerable critical and commercial success and was a landmark release for the band—becoming their first album to reach No. 1 in the UK Albums Chart, and be certified platinum in the US. The album also produced the singles "Run to the Hills" and "The Number of the Beast", the former of which was the band's first top-ten UK single. The album was also controversial, particularly in the US, due to the religious nature of its lyrics and its artwork.

Since the release of The Number of the Beast and its subsequent tour, The Beast on the Road, "The Beast" has become an alternate name for Iron Maiden and was later used in the titles of some of their compilations and live releases, including Best of the Beast and Visions of the Beast.

Invaders (comics)

The Invaders is the name of two fictional superhero teams appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The original team was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Sal Buscema in The Avengers #71 (December 1969). A present-day incarnation was introduced by writer Chuck Austen and artist Scott Kolins in The Avengers vol. 3, #82 (July 2004).

Fictional team history

The prototype for the Invaders, the All-Winners Squad, created by publisher Martin Goodman and scripter Bill Finger, was an actual historic Golden Age comic book feature with only two appearances—in All Winners Comics #19 (Fall 1946) and #21 (Winter 1947; there was no issue #20). This team had much of the same membership as the Invaders, but had its adventures in the post-World War II era, the time that their adventures were published. This group was also notable for being the first in which its members did not entirely get along, prefiguring the internal conflicts of the Fantastic Four in the 1960s.

Invaders (DC Comics)

Alien Invaders of the DC Comics universe first appeared in Armageddon: The Alien Agenda #1. The comic depicted a race of aliens stranded on Earth millions of years ago only to have Earth colonized. Their leader Prime-One teamed up with Monarch. After Captain Atom took their time traveling Orb, their warriors followed him through time with Monarch.

Justice League (animated)

'Alien Invaders' is also the placeholder name given to the aliens in the first Justice League episode "Secret Origins". The Invaders are shapeshifting white humanoids resembling the White Martians, who invaded J'onn J'onzz's homeworld Mars and nearly did so with Earth. They are led by a Lovecraftian, jellyfish-like figurehead called The Imperium.
