Nonstop music. 40 years ago arguably ahead of its time even though it was a ratings hit, a rare phenomenon of entertainment programming took the world of popular music by storm. Top C's & Tiaras™ is not just the title of a show, it's a dazzling adventure into song and melody with opera stars and classically trained artists not just on TV but on all entertainment media.

A tribute to the monologue, a series where star actors celebrate Comic and Dramatic Monologues, each performing their piece to their peers at an after dinner celebrity party. The new series recorded in the same unique location as the original series, an eighteenth century interior in Bloomsbury London address and to include some of the original clips.

Two active projects for re-release are Macready! and Here's A Funny Thing each for a different reason and to attract a different audience; also progress is being made for Crossing Bridges and Hoarded Dreams both designed for minority speciality audiences with now rare important jazz musicians; clips also of unique footage of legendary artists.

With over 70 titles under our belt, it would be true to say that not all our product turned to gold, but some did and some have been lost or simply forgotten.
It would be also true to say the early Bright Thoughts worked tirelessly to help kick-start the entertainment and music output when Channel 4 first came to air. Most commissions had a specific brief for a particular slot, not always for a popular audience, some for minority specialist groups in a way which would not likely happen today. However, all commissions demanded innovation of some kind, that was the vibe for the 'new indies'. The early C4 contracts were for two UK screenings only. What then survived was later parked in the BFI Archive and has remained largely unseen. Therefore, unless viewers alive 'back in the day' set their video recorder, the rest of the potential audiences alive today would simply not know they exist. The Green Room project brings an order of preference. We aim to undertake more digitisation and remastering projects. Some of our IP which remains strong - proven yet not used to their potential - we aim to repurpose with new partners for new markets and to reach new audiences. |
