Bright Thoughts Entertainment
British Television has a massive back-catalogue of many forgotten programmes which are ripe for rediscovery. Bright Thoughts aims to make their performance-based shows available to view-on-demand providers in order to offer more entertainment for older viewing audiences, programmes that can be enjoyed not just once but over and over again!
There is more about view-on-demand on our commercial website Bright Thoughts Entertainment, alternatively you may prefer just to get in touch.

Performance-based productions
|
Between 80% and 90% of the Bright Thoughts product is performance-based and can be mostly reimagined and reinterpreted to create new productions for new audiences.
We encourage and enable ways in which projects, ideas, concept, brands, archives, and productions can be presented online, through publications and presentations by remastering and repurposing previous productions, and also in promoting projects which, as yet remain unplaced. |
For every programme commissioned another six devised concepts, ideas, formats and proposals are held on-file. Too frequently the reasons for ideas and proposals not coming to fruition was to do with right-timing, budgeting, the political 'weather', or just being too busy and then forgotten about.
Whilst many Bright Thoughts productions in the back catalogue are 'of its' time', because most shows are performance-based the concepts themselves - in this context - are timeless and can therefore be reconstructed and reinterpreted for contemporary audiences in the 2020s.
It is worth noting, good plays, operas and musicals for example, are reinterpreted in new productions with each generation. It is therefore realistic to revisit and reimagine much of the subject matter, the structure, content, purpose, and its medium of presentation.

Neil AnthonyThe promotion of the Bright Thoughts is by Neil Anthony and associates, this includes not only the shows that did get made but also some of the formats and proposals 'shelved', for whatever reason. Whilst no longer a producer, he is happy to enable the realisation of new interpretations of the Bright Thoughts product.
