BBC1 Happening For Lulu 6.15 - 7.00 pm

The Jimi Hendrix Experience lose a lump of hash down a dressing room sink plug hole but manage to retrieve it in time for a pre-show smoke, leading to an erratic, but legendary performance. Stanley Dorfman, the shows' producer wanted the band to accompany Lulu on a version of To Sir With Love after they had performed Hey Joe, but they veered off-piste into a cover of Sunshine Of Your Love instead, scuppering the intended duet and leading to a BBC ban. According to the NME everybody went back to Maurice Gibb's home where he had recorded the show on video tape for a playback.

BBC1 Top Of The Pops 7.30 - 8.00 pm

From Melody Maker "It could well have been the funniest and indeed the most hideous sight known to science (without sufficient data to prove) the day the Marmalade donned full highland regalia and the Bonzo Dog Band assumed full drag in a BBC Top Of The Pops dressing room. Passing technicians and tea ladies stopped, stared, cried out and ran as they saw Bonzo Neil Innes in a crinoline and vast wig. Others skidded in their tracks at the sight of Dean Ford in a rather chic mini-kilt, while his drummer Alan Whitehead, resplendent and quite normal in a British Redcoat uniform allowed himself a self-satisfied smirk. It was a shame televiewers couldn't have seen the saucy dance performed by Marmalade for the Bonzos, demonstrating how thay would have liked to end "Ob La Di Ob La Da" revealing what Scotsmen wear neath the tartan, a performance that reduced Viv Stanshall, himself tastefully attired in running shorts, to fits of mirth.")

It's about this time that The Kinks record a clip of their new single Plastic Man for Top Of The Pops, but the clip is not used. From Melody Maker 3rd May 1969 "We did an Ampex for Top of the Pops and they have decided not to use it," said an embittered Ray Davies this week. "They listened to the words and when I reached that word they shifted the camera off me. It's all very childish and I'm sure everybody who watches Top of the Pops already knows what a bum is. They even asked me to sing 'thumb' instead. It was so ridiculous and very upsetting. What makes it so absurd is that we did it on Dee Time and the record is getting played on Radio One without any complaints."

This show was due to be pre-recorded on 16th December 1969, but the recording was cancelled due to illness of the star and guest Dusty Springfield. In the end, the show was transmitted live. This show might have been the genesis of the anecdote where the musical director Ronnie Hazelhurst had to let the band know "Cilla's ill, she can't sing", to which someone said "well, the first bit is news."

Produced by David Mallett

A George Martin special. Martin was hired as the "adviser on light music" at Yorkshire TV in summer 1967 and would act as Executive Producer on his own shows, however it seems to have taken over two years to actually produce one. Regarding the talent appearing on the show TV Times mentioned in passing "and, it is hoped, Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr." Talking to the TV Times Martin claimed "There will be nostalgia in the show", he says. "These are people who have all since gone their own ways. They are coming back in their individual guises. The result is a show which will be a forward-looking family entertainment, heavily accentuated in music combined with comedy."

Ringo Starr - Octopus' Garden (a mix featuring some new instrumentation by session musicians over some of The Beatles original recording was made for the show)

The set design for today and tomorrow's show would also be used for the year-end Pop Go The Sixties special, even sharing some of the clips. Pan's People would be replaced by a male and female dance troupe, The Ascot Dancers. Despite sharing resources the TOTP orchestra would be as usual conducted by Johnny Pearson for this and tomorrow's show, but led by Johnny Harris for Pop Goes The Sixties.

BBC1 Pop Go The Sixties! 10.35 - 11.50 pm

The Bee Gees, The Dave Clark Five and Engelbert Humperdinck were scheduled to appear in the show. Dusty Springfield dropped out from the final running order due to illness but is still listed in the credits. She was due to perform You Don't Have To Say You Love Me and an introduction was recorded by the hosts. Cilla Black also had to cancel pre-recording due to illness and was eventually represented with an existing TV cip.

A co-production between the BBC and ZDF in West Germany and co-presented by German actress Elfi von Kalckreuth. Many of the songs used had also been hits in Germany.

Although not strictly speaking a Top of the Pops show it utilises some of the show's set design from the Christmas and Boxing Day shows and The Ascot Dancers were the same troupe used on those Top of the Pops '69 Christmas shows.

BBC2 The Fabulous Elvis 8.45 - 9.35 pm (the NBC special from 1968)

Although the Elvis Presley fan club had been petitioning for this to be shown in the UK the BBC claimed back in the Spring that NBC had told them that it was "not available for showing in this country yet." It's likely that Col Parker was hoping that competition between BBC and ITV would drive the price up, but it didn't work. Rights then reverted from NBC to the Singer Sewing Machine company, the show's sponsor, which meant that negotiations had to start all over again.
