Neil's Notes:
|
Top C's and Tiaras was ground-breaking, very much ahead of its time. It was huge fun to drill-down into the operetta repertoire, not only for the researchers and the production team, but also for the musicians and artists.
We first developed this crossover concept and the modular format for another TV company but when Channel 4 first said they needed a popular music entertainment show for a peak viewing slot to get the ratings up, Top Cs was the obvious choice. It didn't fail to deliver. Being the most viewer-requested show on Channel 4 at that time, they then chose not to go to another series. Apparently, it wasn't edgy enough! Too mainstream for C4. In recording the main series we simultaneously recorded digital sound for marketing purposes, CDs, videos and the like. At that time the MU and PRS rights and residuals made secondary exploitation cost-prohibitive. By the time the unions released their 'death-grip' a few years later we had moved on to other projects. Top C's never reached its wider audience nor fulfilled its potential. The format is as fresh today. We still receive requests for more and for a re-run. There has been nothing like it on tv, event cinema, or elsewhere, since! |
