It is announced today in the press that the BBC radio and television has axed its Popular Music Committee which had the power to ban pop recordings that it felt demeaned classical works, so-called "jazzing up the classics" like Mack The Knife, Nut Rocker, Saturday Night At The Duckpond.

Seen in 7.6 million homes according to Television Audience Measurement ratings. Brian Epstein told the Daily Mirror "Until now The Beatles have never sounded right on television. That is why we have had them miming on most of their appearances. But on this show none of their record hits will be mimed." Their songs were actually pre-recorded for miming purposes in April at IBC's studios at the back of BBC Broadcasting House. The show was recorded at Rediffusion's Studio 5 in Wembley on April 28th, and produced by legend Jack Good. The show was also set to include Jerry Lee Lewis. The (mostly) good natured barracking during the Shakespeare routine came from band friend John Baldry. The stage setting was meant to represent The Globe Theatre, with the title Around The Beatles presumably a pun.

BBC1 Juke Box Jury 7.10 - 7.35 pm

Jury - The Rolling Stones

Guest -

The band had to be brought into the studio by armoured truck to be able to get through the crowd outside. Producer Barry Langford later said it took two hours for the band to get out of their transport and ready to record the show. The band had misbehaved during rehearsals, until Brian Jones, sensing David Jacob’s annoyance, cracked the whip and the band behaved during the actual recording. Barry Langford talking to Disc magazine predicted "we expect a minimum viewing audience of twenty million as compared with the regular eleven or twelve million. We have already had over 8000 applications for the 500 tickets available". Normally the audience in attendance would be 150 only and broadcast from Television Centre, studio 2, so a larger studio had to be used. Because there was an odd number of jurors this week the teenage panel was dropped. Also dropped was the usual hit or miss board, while a new but temporary set design was employed. Among the records they judged was a new Elvis disc, The Zephyrs and The Nashville Teens 'Tobacco Road'. A review of the show in Melody Maker claimed "The boys were inarticulate and incoherent. But they are not wholly to blame, The show was recorded. Why then, in heaven’s name, didn’t someone in authority say; “Right! That was a shambles. Let’s do it again." The New Musical Express called their appearance "an utter disgrace." Judging by a surviving audio recording Charlie was his usual bored, non-verbal self, while the others seemed to go along with it, but would rather have not been there.

Records played - The Nashville Teens - Tobacco Road, Dusty Springfield - I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself, Elvis Presley, The Zephyrs

The previous day RSG! wins the top television show award at the Variety Club luncheon in London. In accepting the award Elkan Allan, head of entertainment programmes at Rediffusion remarked "There are so many beat shows on the air. So often when you turn the television on now you see teenagers dancing. When we started Ready Steady Go a year ago ours was the only programme of the kind, now there seems to be one every night. It is now losing its novelty and is rapidly in danger of becoming a bore. The BBC has two copies on. I give the BBC a challenge. I will cut out one of my shows if they will cut out one of theirs!"

The show features The Searchers in Sydney, Australia, the start of occasional location filming for the show. Talking to the Daily Mirror at the time, show producer Johnnie Stewart said "We want to get more artists out of the studio and into the open air. With so many of the chart toppers roaming around the world, it isn't always easy to keep up with them. It's also a very expensive job to film artists abroad then have them flown home. But we hope to capture a lot of American stars this way”.
