Ready Steady Go!

''Ready Steady Go!'' (or ''RSG!'') was a British rock/pop music television programme every Friday evening from 9 August 1963 until 23 December 1966. It was conceived by Elkan Allan, head of Rediffusion TV. Allan wanted a light entertainment programme different from the low-brow style of light entertainment transmitted by ATV. The programme was produced without scenery or costumes and with a minimum of choreography and make-up. Allan recruited a fellow journalist, Francis Hitching, as producer. Hitching became a major figure in light entertainment in the 1960s. Robert Fleming was the first director, followed by the documentary director Rollo Gamble, then Michael Lindsay-Hogg, Daphne Shadwell and Peter Croft.
The programme was produced by Associated-Rediffusion, the weekday ITV contractor for London, called Rediffusion-London after 1964. The live show was eventually networked nationally.
The show gained its highest ratings on 20 March 1964 when it featured the Beatles being interviewed and performing "It Won't Be Long", "You Can't Do That" and "Can't Buy Me Love" - the last a hit at the time.
''RSG! USA!'' was a Dick Clark production in 1964. A trademark infringement suit ended the show after six episodes.
== Description ==
The show went out early on Friday evenings with the line "The weekend starts here!", and was introduced by the Surfaris' "Wipe Out", later by Manfred Mann's "5-4-3-2-1", then Manfred Mann's "Hubble Bubble, Toil and Trouble", then the Stones, lastly, with "Goin Home"). It was more youth-orientated and informal than its BBC rival (from 1964), ''Top of the Pops''. It was notable for featuring the audience as dancers and for the interaction of artists and audience. Artists appeared on different mini-stages, sometimes on studio gantries and stairs, or on the main floor for solo artists, closely surrounded by the audience. The producers choose the audience in London clubs, picking out the best or the most fashionably dressed dancers. This ensured a hip audience in tune with the artists.
Owing to scheduling of local news in parts of the UK, several ITV regions joined the show part-way through.
Initially, ''RSG!'' artists mimed but by late 1964 some performed live and the show switched to all-live performances in April 1965.〔(Tv.com Ready Steady Goes Live! ) Episode Number: 88 Season Num: 2 First Aired: 2 April 1965 - Accessed February 2007.〕 It was noted for allowing artists to perform the full version of songs rather than short versions demanded by other shows. The programme was never broadcast in the United States, perhaps because it was in black and white when ABC, CBS and NBC were converting to full colour.
The show was recorded at small studios in Rediffusion's headquarters in Kingsway, London. Although the company had bigger facilities at Wembley in the west of the capital, it was easier to attract stars and audiences to central London. As the studios were compact it was not possible to hide cameras. The ever-present cameras, which were large with rotating lens turrets rather than zooms, were sometimes incorporated into the action, notably in a Manfred Mann performance of ''Machines'' which ended with Paul Jones singing crouched on the floor surrounded by cameras.
RSG was originally from Studio 9 in Kingsway when artists mimed; it later moved to Studio 5 at Wembley, enabling artists to perform live. Artists' own recorded backing tracks were not allowed by the Musicians' Union so the whole of Studio 5 (normally divided into 5a and 5b) was used so an orchestra could perform the backing live.
The show was popular among young people. It had a particular following among the mod youth subculture of the 1960s.〔(Ready Steady Gone ) Johnnie Taylor, Modculture.com, Accessed April 2011〕
In late 1966, when the 'beat boom' was fading, the show was cancelled, despite its popularity. Dave Clark bought the rights to the surviving recordings. Compilations were broadcast on Channel 4 in the 1980s and VHS videos included a Beatles live special〔(The Beatles Live - Ready Steady Go Special Edition (1964) )〕 and The Sounds of Motown special edition.〔(Ready Steady Go! Special Edition - The Sounds of Motown )〕 In 1989 the show was seen for the first time in the US, on Disney Channel. During that time, Disney was a pay channel aimed at adults at night. ''Ready Steady Go!'' has not been officially released on DVD.
