{{quote|''"It's Tuesday. We are live as we speak here at [[The BBC|Television Centre]]. I have one of the towering giants of British music next to me; [[Madness (band)|you may indeed recognise him]]. I think it's going to suggest to you the sort of evening we've got in store..."''
|'''Jools Holland with [[Face of the Band|Suggs]], 2009'''}}
Featuring an array of performers from all over the world and representing an eclectic range of genres, this [[Long Runner|long-running]] [[The BBC|BBC series]] is one of the last great music showcases on British television. Originating in 1992 as a spin-off from the earlier nineties evening arts programme ''The Late Show'', ''Later...'' has long since outlasted its parent show and made its presenter, former Squeeze keyboard player Jools Holland, the face of British music TV (a role to which he first aspired on Channel 4's 80s series ''The Tube'').
Initially recorded on a Tuesday and broadcast on the Friday of the same week, 2008 saw the introduction of ''Later... Live'', a half-hour version of the programme broadcast live on Tuesday nights, followed up by the full-length pre-recorded edition on Friday. Aside from the substantial range of artists and styles covered in the programme's eighteen years, ''Later'' is noted for several unique features:
* The "opening jam" of each episode, which introduces the night's guests a playing a short collective jam accompanied by Holland on piano.

** A Spring Hootenanny took place once or twice, but it didn't really catch on.

* [[All-Star Cast]]: Episodes typically feature a range of well-known and obscure artists as well as new talent.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To many of the long since defunct music shows from [[The Eighties]], including The Tube (which Jools presented) and the legendary ''Old Grey Whistle Test''.
