We care about them and we care about getting the best out of them.” Later’s setup is as self-explanatory as you’ll find on modern television, but it is perhaps too often overlooked as simple or barren. The programme’s uncomplicated blueprint is made instantly more enigmatic, for example, by the intense human ego captured within the coliseum at its centre. As we watch the programme on our screens, fellow artists eyeball each other in Later’s BBC studio. There’s always mutual support and admiration amongst the acts, but it’s laced with heavy expectation. Newbies strive to impress legends; old-timers play out of their to dumbfound the kids. “We’ve realised more and more that the show has a gladiatorial element – what they used to call ‘cutting contests’ in blues music,” explains Mark Cooper, executive producer and co-creator of Later, who has worked on the programme since its birth.
