I Didn't Know There Was So Much in it: A look at this week through the TV Times - Sunday 5th April to Saturday 11th April 1964

Once again we flick through the pages of the TV Times, going back to 1964 with the TV Times, but with the TV Times being only seen in certain regions and the other regions having their own listing guides. The TV Times was seen in the London, North, the Anglia area, for Border, Grampian and for Southern Television. So the Northern edition with ABC and Granada in their pan-North region is the one we are looking at this week and the way the listings are structured are different as well. But more about that in a while, the cover in this week features Maureen Pryor and Bill Owen who appeared in the first of a new series of plays under the banner of 'Love Story'. The first week's play was called 'Three Piece Suite' when Pryor's character dreamt of extra furniture but with that came a new romance for her.




With the new feeling of youth in the country as a whole, 'Ready Steady Go!' looked forward to their Mod Ball on Wednesday night, with an article of how the broadcast was planned from the hiring of the Empire Pool, Wembley and the biggest names in British pop music at that time. The comparable idea of the Mod Ball would be against the Chelsea Arts Ball, one of the former most colourful social events on the calender. 

The announcement of the event came in March 6th edition of the programme with people asked to apply for tickets through the Variety Club of Great Britain, who's charities would benefit. Just three days after the announcement, 14 sacks of applications for tickets had arrived to fill up the number of tickets available. With a fortnight later, full time secretaries were still dealing with requests from young viewers for the chance to see their favourite stars. 

The technical operation to get such a programme on the air, took ten trucks and seventy-five technicians to from Rediffusion's Wembley Studios to the Empire Pool itself. One of the most ambitious outside broadcasts to date at that point, with the sheer numbers itself staggering. Over 2000 dancers, 6000 spectators, more then 2000 yards of cables and wiring, one hundred and fifty commissionaires with fifty to look after the artists and one hundred to look after the crowd, forty policemen to keep order outside the venue as well as 20 first aid staff as well. 

For the finances raised from the tickets varying between £1, 10 shillings or 5 shillings, raising a total of £3000 overall from ticket sales, with after the show, 45 people taking two days to tidy up as well. Showing what a huge event this was for ITV in general and how the power of television could come up with something so amazing and get the feel of the age.


Another pioneer is also interviewed in this week's edition of the TV Times, looking Granada's Johnny Hamp and his ability to break new acts to a wider audience. As the magazine calls him 'the Pop Chief of Scene at 6.30', Hamp as the presenter and producer of Wednesday's Pop Scene, had upto to the publication of that week's edition of the TV Times had in just 14 months assembled quite a number of debuts for both singing artistes and groups.

As quoted in that week's edition of the TV Times, Hamp says.

"When we decided we needed a pop musical item in the show every night, we had a problem."

He continues, "Most of the big names launched their records in London." "We decided if we were going to get the teenage audiences we wanted, we would have to start scooping the London shows."

"That didn't only only mean getting established names to come to Manchester first with their records. It meant digging out new talent before it had been fully recognised elsewhere."

Hamp broke such stars as Freddie and Dreamers for Wednesday's Pop Scene, although when they had been auditioned for Granada, the year before. They were rejected as Granada as their act was though absurd and stupid. The slot itself remained one of the most vibrant and entertaining features of Scene at 6.30, though contrary to imagination. It was not Hamp who broke The Beatles, but it was another programme "People and Places"  which the Fab Four had debuted on in October 1962 and from People and Places came Scene at 6.30, though The Beatles always found time when they could to appear on Scene to promote their new singles or be interviewed about their latest exploits.

From the world of Pop Music to the world of Ken Nixon, whose life was focused on by Granada's Travelling Eye with Nixon helping out a Granada crew during the filming of a new drama 'The Villains', which looked at the life of the waterways of Britain and the smugglers there on. 

Jack Smethurst and Derek Benfield played a pair of bargee brothers who are apprehended by the law, but as such with trying to play a bargee as Smethurst explains trying to learn the accent of the bargee can be difficult in itself.

"It isn't anything you can localise. A bargee's accent seems to be coloured by every county he passes through."

With travelling on the waterways, Nixon and his family have been enamored with luxuries such as a television set or a telephone. With his life with his wife and three children, he has inherited his lifestyle from his parents who were also bargees as well. As Ken Nixon explains,

"You leave it, and you come back to it. Once it gets into your blood, you can't get rid of it."

But for all this time spent on the waterways, Nixon is reflective about his and his family's future on the water with his children coming upto to schooling age and possibly sending them to the Waterways boarding school in Birmingham and seeing a life beyond the canals, that even if he was to take a job on dry land, he would always be drawn back to the waterways one day.


Celebrating the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth on the other hand are Johnny Dankworth and his wife Cleo Lane as they put the playwright's words to Jazz, the TV Times interviews Johnny Dankworth about this project which is close to both of their hearts. 

Revealing this new type of Shakespeare in Monday night's Lyric by Shakespeare with narration by Tony Britton. Though idea of adapting lyrics from well known work of Shakespeare was not a new idea to Johnny and Cleo, as nine years ago when Cleo recorded an LP called 'Cleo Sing British' and found a modern setting version of "It Was A Lover and His Lass". With the success of the album with fans of Laine and Dankworth plus also lovers of Shakespeare as well. 




Such was the success of the project, that schoolteachers were using the album to re-engage children with the works of Shakespeare, from that came the idea of adapting more of his work to music and a television special for Rediffusion. As Dankworth says about the project himself,

"One thing both Cleo and I feel strongly about, We have many times enjoyed the works of Shakespeare, at the theatre, and on TV. But many people who associate the great man with something highbrow have never bothered to see what he has to offer."

He continues,

"Good modern productions of Shakespeare are usually, witty, lively, and above all entertaining. They use modern resources and techniques to add to their vigour."

"We have tried to do that very thing in our contributions to the world of Shakespeare. To those who bridle at use of jazz in such a context we would say this. Shakespeare in his day was no sacred prerogative of the intellectuals. In those days not the gulf that tends to exist today between so-called art and entertainment."

This week also sees the return for a new series of 'No Hiding Place', with the introduction of two new characters to join Detective Chief Superintendent Lockhart in the fight against crime. But also it sees one of the first major roles for Johnny Briggs later to play Mike Baldwin in Coronation Street, in No Hiding Place, he plays Detective Sergeant Russell alongside fellow new recruit Michael McStay playing Detective Sergeant Perryman. Those these two new characters to the show, had come from the underworld to the front line of detection have both had run-ins before with Lockhart in a previous series. The TV Times looks at the careers of Briggs and McStay and introduction to who they are apart from their characters and what viewers can expect in the new series.

Though Johnny Briggs isn't the only Coronation Street regular who makes an appearance in this week's TV Times, as Pat Phoenix, famous for playing Elsie Tanner in the Weatherfield soap, has a weekly column in the magazine meeting its readers and also tips for interviews and things to do. So in the April 5th edition, Pat goes down the coal mine to meet some of the miners and see what they do on a daily basis. Plus it gives her an opportunity to do some of the same by shoveling some coal for a photo. 

Pretty much like Elsie Tanner, Phoenix has a broad sassy appeal in her column mixing it with the grizzled miners, but also showing how dangerous it can be for those who do mining on a day to day basis. The Agecroft Colliery in the Agecroft area of Pendlebury in Lancashire which Pat goes down in was said to be one of the most modern of its kind, with the second colliery on the site only opening up in 1960. Plus also with the opportunity for the National Coal Board to show off one of its newest sites in one of the most popular magazines across the Northern ITV region and in some regions beyond as well.




From the fun and frivolity of the week's entertainment programmes, Sir John Newsome, the chairman of the new Educational Advisory Council of the Independent Television Authority looks at the benefits television can have on education in schools and also for teachers as well, looking forward to what effect it will have in the years to come. But with a salutatory warning that even with all the television channels available at that time, they could not cover all subjects available to teachers and students.

But to contrast the article about education comes an interview with 'Double Your Money' hostess Monica Rose, who had originally been a contestant on the programme and was brought back to be the assistant to Hughie Green on the show. Her rise to fame had been a rapid one and at such a young age, Rose was only 16 when she made her debut as a hostess on Double Your Money and previously been a junior accounting clerk at a catering firm. 




Her confidence was high that she was going to succeed in show business that she took singing and dancing lessons, as Rose said to the TV Times in that interview,

"If I'm not going to make it, I'll know in a year."

She continues

"At my age, I can afford a year, can't I?"
