The invasion of the Yippies including Mick Farren, Jerry Rubin etc. The edition was broadcast live on LWT, and was shown the following night on other ITV channels with a warning about the profanities beforehand. One member of the audience brings their own black and white video camera, with "Electronic Newspaper" written on the side. The footage shot is curently available on You Tube. Jerry Rubin, who according to Frost negotiated the largest appearance fee of any of his guests, brings along twenty friends, despite only being given six complimentary tickets. A second studio was used for the second half of the show which just happened to be set up with cameras and lighting, leading to accusations that the whole scenario was created by Frost seeking publicity for his show which was under threat of being cancelled by LWT's new administration, namely Rupert Murdoch. It would be in vain as the following month Murdoch would show Frost the door.

NB Originally intended as a TV special, made by Southern TV in late 1967. It takes three years to get the project to TV. Sammy Davis Jr was penciled in to appear. Filming finally started August 1969 in the grounds of manager Robert Stigwood's 36 acre Stanmore home.
Named after a song on their Bee Gees 1st album the story is set in the 16th century and has Barry playing The King of Cucumber and Maurice playing the King of Jelly.
