Beat International magazine in 1974 claimed "There was the time, for instance, when Humble Pie went on Top Of The Pops and didn't take it quite as seriously as the authorities at the BBC might have hoped for. Consequently they were immediately banned from the programme." They had a chat with Blackburn after their song and someone called him "Eamonn."

The Melody Maker encouraged Dylan's fans to have their say writing to Dylan/TV, Melody Maker, 161 Fleet Street, London, EC4.

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 currently 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.
