After the resumption of BBC television during 1946, Starlight was one of the few pre-war programmes to be reinstated, and it was broadcast for a further three years until 1949.
A variety show, the programmes would feature comedians, singers, dancers and various other entertainment acts.
One notable edition of the 1930s gave popular singer Gracie Fields her first ever television appearance.
As with all other BBC programmes of the time, Starlight was transmitted live from the studios at Alexandra Palace.
