Talking to Record Mirror during recording of the show in October 1961 BBC producer Richard Evans told them "Everything at the telerecording of the first show went as expected. Brian Innes changed the script six times during rehearsal, the floor was knee deep in cigar butts, Alan Swainson Cooper tried to smuggle away one of the cameras, Cephas Howard began to fear for the setting he had designed. But when it finally came to shooting, I think we got a first-class programme."

I'd been so happy at first. I thought it would help me to become a star. Then THEY started. Shirley Bassey, her husband Kenneth Hume, Susan Castle and Poss Parker. Mr Parker even put a clothes' peg on his nose after the record was played. I felt terrible. I tried to keep smiling. I can just about remember going out afterwards to walk past the panel and I think David Jacobs kissed me and he didn't think the record was so bad, Then I went off. Out of sight. And I cried. My manager was there and tried to comfort me. They had been so merciless. I just felt there wasn't any point in going on singing.")
