London Weekend Television has been a lynchpin programme provider for the ITV network since it started broadcasting in August 1968. In that time it has produced a range of nationally-networked shows covering classic drama, comedy, one-off plays, light entertainment, variety, gameshows, children's programmes, current affairs, the arts and sports. Best-known for its weekend entertainment offerings, LWT invented 'people TV' in the early 1980s with innovative programmes such as Game For A Laugh and became internationally recognised through its drama productions of Upstairs, Downstairs and London's Burning. It has also made award-winning local programmes, from The Making of Modern London and The River Thames to The London Weekend Show and Sunday, Sunday. Although LWT has disappeared as a broadcaster, it remains a strong production brand to this day. Here, we present a selection of LWT's programmes and pick out some of the company's best-known shows ... |
