The show got the complaint from a viewer in the following week's Disc "WE WISH to say how deeply shocked and appalled we were when this week's (April 16) "Music in the Round" on I.T.A.—"Rock of Ages" with Marc Bolan and T. Rex was brought to a sudden and untimely end. Humphrey Burton—the interviewer— was most unsympathetic and asked varions questions, all of which showed his ignorance of the subject in hand. Also we do not think that it is fair to show the preparation for an announced song without showing it being played. Is it right that this kind of thing should be allowed to happen?" A Disc writer claimed "MARC Bolan's appearance on London Weekend TV's "Music In The Round" was embarrassing through no fault of his own. The interviewer, Humphrey Burton, was obviously tolally at a loss for constructive comment or discussion, his script was appalling and his discomfort blatantly apparent."

Thames Tony Bennett at the Talk Of The Town 10.30 - 11.00 pm (first edition)

Although made for Thames, Bennett paid the artist and musician fees in return for international sales rights. This made the show an independently made series, causing problems with the TV unions. Equity regarded it to be a part of the “American quota negotiations”. Thames then pulled the series from its expected April debut until July. Sacha Distel was meant to be a guest on the final recording of the series, but failed to turn up as he was recording his own French TV show. Talking to the Daily Mirror a spokesman for Bennett said " We will be doing another thirteen programmes later in the year, and Sacha Distel will be a guest on one of these. We always intended opening the series and closing it without a guest artist, so we taped the closing programme instead."
