Musical highlights:

The Seekers perform "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," "Someday, One Day" and

This was an experimental COLOR edition (color
television didn’t officially make it to ITV until late 1969).
Note:
A "test" recording at ITC's expense whilst Lew Grade was setting up a
6--episode deal with NBC. I would think he had to take a ready made
"pilot" over with him to show Network bosses. [AC]

The Castors
presenter: Jimmy Tarbuck
Review (from the 01June1966 issue of Weekly Variety):
Prince of Wales
Currently playing in "Casino Royale," American patterman Woody Allen did the
fresh air bit for this otherwise routine variety bill. His nervous,
1966-neurotic act was a joy to the more sophisticated, with something left over
for most of the rest. He got home strongly with the latter on several occasions
with his more obvious sex whimsies.
Major drawback on this stint was his lack of time. It seemed no sooner had he
got sparking than he was hauled off (leaving with a "gesture of intense
symbolism": the jacking up of the 45 degreed mike). But his brief spot served to
underline the need locally for a hip counterpart who could operate on this level
of psycho-humor.
By stark contrast, Jimmy Tarbuck brought forth some inane gags; a low line of
fun which could not be propped by the cheeky personality which permeates his
hosting chore.
A refreshing spot came from Janie Marden, who was in great form with "On A
Wonderful Day Like Today" and "Who Can I Turn To?" Her true voice, style and
delivery mark her as one of the brightest talents since Shirley Bassey.
Barbra Streisand's stand-in, Lisa Shane, tipped to take over the former's "Funny
Girl" role, next month, came on powerfully to inject zest into "Don't Rain On My
Parade" and feeling into "People." Slick though the latter attempt was, it fell
short in comparison with the Streisand version on which it heavily leaned.
The infectious good time jazz of the Acker Bilk unit was a foot-tapping
interlude. And the Hamarnies practiced their juggling skills to an incredible
degree. But such accomplishments have become so commonplace on TV that the
effect was limited. The logrolling Castors suffered a similar ill-deserved fate,
for their similar act.
