'Carpool Karaoke' Producers Making Live Music Series for the BBC

According to Variety, the BBC is bringing a live music series back to its BBC One channel created by Carpool Karaoke producer Fulwell 73. The BBC told Variety that Carpool Karaoke host James Corden will not host the new British music series.

The music-chart series "Top of the Pops" was a mainstay of the BBC's weekly schedule for decades, but the pubcaster took the show off the air in 2006. Unlike "Top of the Pops," which centered on live acts and music videos, the Fulwell 73 show will also feature sketches and interviews, as well as music from the biggest British and international acts. The show launches on BBC One this fall.

"This series will be a fantastic opportunity to showcase the biggest and best U.K. and international bands and artists, and we're looking forward to working with one of the world's most innovative and creative TV production companies," said Bob Shennan, director of BBC Radio and Music.
