'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (or '''''RSG!''''') was a British rock/pop music television programme produced by [[Associated-Rediffusion]] that was broadcast every Friday evening on [[ITV]] from August 9th 1963 until December 23rd 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 [[Associated Television|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.

[[Sandie Shaw]] was one of the programme's featured artists.
