Live from... was a Sunday night live entertainment variety television show that aired on ITV from 16 January 1983 to 27 November 1988 and was hosted by Jimmy Tarbuck. It was broadcast live from a theatre in London (depending on which series) and was very much in the tradition of earlier variety spectacles such as Sunday Night at the Palladium.

Tommy Cooper's death
During the show's run on 15 April 1984, comedian Tommy Cooper collapsed and died after suffering a massive heart attack. Cooper collapsed against the curtain, and most members of the audience were laughing, assuming that it was a joke Cooper was playing. It was not until compere Jimmy Tarbuck realized that the drop was not part of Cooper's plot, that everyone suddenly realised what had occurred. The show continued after an unplanned commercial break and after Tarbuck was reportedly informed Cooper was recovering. Backstage, while the show continued, paramedics frantically attempted to revive Cooper, but he was pronounced dead on arrival at Westminster Hospital. Cooper's death was announced internationally on the BBC News later that evening.
