Bad weather prevented The Pretty Things from appearing as a group, but singer Phil

England, Jennifer Gurley. The Animals were pencilled in to appear. This might have
been the occasion which they were due to appear but, like The Pretty Things, bad
weather prevented them. Alan Price told Rave magazine in June 1967 "We were flying
up to Manchester where Top Of The Pops was being transmitted from in those days.

The first show broadcast from their new home at Wembley. The new sound equipment needed for a totally live show costs Rediffusion £12,000 with an extra £1000 per show. Despite the overhaul the show is still only shown locally in this 50 minute format in this time slot.
The Kinks were due to perform Everybody’s Gonna Be Happy but cancelled
Allegedly Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich turn up uninvited, but ended up auditioning for Vicki Wickham in the studio's foyer. Gerry & The Pacemakers and The Kinks cancelled their appearances.
Cathy McGowan had bought a blue denim pinstriped trouser suit with 21 inch bell bottoms and matching skirt for the show tonight.

ITV might have run shows throughout the night in an attempt to spoil BBC1’s potential audience for the Sonny Liston / Cassius Clay fight which started at 3.30 am UK time via the Earlybird satellite. According to an article on Blues on British TV one of these shows may have been a previously unseen blues / R&B show made by Granada the previous November and featuring Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Sonny Boy Williamson, The Moody Blues (miming Go Now badly) and The Five Dimensions. There is however no mention of it in newspapers of the time or the TV Times.

Melody Maker reported in April that Dylan would not be doing any TV in the UK while he was here, but his UK promoter Tito Burns claimed that American crew will be following him and the result “will be available to British TV companies if they wish to buy it for enough money.”
Recorded at the BBC Television Theatre, Shepherd's Bush, London 1st June 1965 in front of an audience of 300, including members of The Pretty Things. Disc Weekly suggested that other British acts might also appear on the show. He nearly didn't make the recording as he had picked up a virus in Portugal and might have headed straight home to New York instead of going to the BBC's studio.
Love Minus Zero, One Too Many Mornings, Boots Of Spanish Leather, It's Alright Ma ("This is a funny song, ho, ho, ho"), She Belongs To Me, It's All Over Now Baby Blue. There was then a fifteen minute break before he recorded a second set, shown 26th June 1965. He played Maggie's Farm in the rehearsal, but dropped it from his final choice of songs.

It’s about this time that Gary Smith, producer of NBC’s Hullabaloo comes to the UK to book lesser known UK acts for his show. He sees RSG and suggests to Elkan Allan that maybe both shows should swap clips. This edition includes clips, filmed on July 1st, of bands playing in local London clubs. Major Lance was pencilled to appear.
Hosted by Cathy McGowan
The Dave Clark Five – Catch Us If You Can, Dave Clark does a Sandy Nelson number
The Ivy League – Tossing And Turning (John Carter of the group later complained to the Melody Maker that the show's producers wouldn't allow them to use their own recording band Division Two. "The boys play on our records and get the sound we want, but RSG won't let us use them." Perry Ford added "RSG say they try to get the actual sound, yet they don't use the group. Session men are OK, but blimey, it just isn't the same Ivy League sound." In their defence Vicki Wickham countered "We employ a regular studio group of top session men and we don't want to use any backing groups. For one thing it would cost a lot of money. I really do consider that the men we use are very good and do an excellent job.")

The Byrds and Herman's Hermits were pencilled to appear. The Yardbirds turned up
late for rehearsals so were told to go home. Chris Dreja later told the NME "Our
transport broke down, and we had to scout around for another car to get us to 'Thank
Your Lucky Stars' for rehearsals. Believe me, the traffic was bad getting there.
Really diabolical. And yet we made it only about 25 or 30 minutes late. We were sorry
to be behind time but we thought they'd be understanding. No fear. The producer had
some very snooty attitude about it all. He didn't want to know -

Johnny Halliday was due to appear but was involved in a car accident, so Dick Rivers was the substitute. The Silkie, The Fourmost and Richard Anthony were pencilled in to appear. Richard Anthony was due to perform All My Loving in French. There was also the idea to include film clips of American acts including Ella Fitzgerald. John Lennon claimed "Ella actually sent a film insert but unfortunately it was not up to standard." Despite there being no studio audience, fans turned up to see the group. Talking to the NME at the studio Paul McCartney said "One of the reasons we're doing this show is as a favour to Johnny Hamp, who risked his job by including us in an early TV show when we were unknown." There were six injuries to security men inflicted by fans which included a bitten thumb which required six stitches.
