NB Sparks were due to appear to promote This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Two Of Us on tonight's show but since they were from the USA their work permits had to be checked first. The paperwork was not in order so the producer had to cancel their appearance, despite the fact that they had appeared on the the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test some time before. The Rubettes replaced them, making their TV debut.
