Starlight was an early British television programme, one of the first regular series to be shown on the BBC Television Service in the 1930s. Its first edition was broadcast on November 3, 1936 – the day after the service had officially opened – and it continued to be broadcast until the suspension of television for the duration of the Second World War in 1939.

Following the resumption of BBC television in 1946, Starlight was one of the few pre-war programmes to return, and it ran 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. The shows were not recorded, and no material other than still photographs exists for the series today.
