Trivia
If you're thinking "I could have sworn this was a Radio 1 show", you're half-right. In its early days, Radio 1 didn't fill all of its hours by itself and would often take a simulcast of Radio 2 instead, so the 1967 and 1969 series (minus the Christmas special) were both simulcast this way.
John Tidmarsh took over after the death of Kenneth Horne.
