Rutland Weekend Television (RWT) was a television sketch show on BBC2, written by Eric Idle with music by Neil Innes.
Two series, the first consisting of six episodes, the second of seven, were broadcast, in 1975 and 1976.
A Christmas special also aired on Boxing Day 1975.
It was Idle's first television project after Monty Python's Flying Circus run ended the previous year.
The show was the catalyst for The Rutles.
Rutland Weekend Television or RWT centred on "Britain's smallest television network", situated in England's smallest (and mainly rural) county, Rutland.
The show's title alludes to the real television broadcaster London Weekend Television.
(London at the time was covered by two ITV franchises, Thames Television broadcasting Monday to Friday, and LWT at weekends).
