Ready Steady Go! (or RSG!) was a British rock/pop music television programme broadcast every Friday evening from 9 August 1963 until 23 December 1966. It was conceived by Elkan Allan, head of Rediffusion TV. It was produced without scenery or costumes and with a minimum of choreography and make-up.

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.
