Many entertainers, actors and comedians have their roots in the Liverpool area, while a number of films have either been set in Liverpool or shot there.

Portraits of many people in the entertainment business and from Greater Liverpool are displayed outside the offices of BBC Merseyside (shown here on the right). Included in the collection are Arthur Askey, Lita Roza, Frankie Vaughan, Cilla Black, Ted Ray, The Beatles, Anne Robinson, Leonard Rossiter, Deryck Guyler, Glenda Jackson and many others.
