Trivia
Hank Marvin performs with Shakin' Stevens during his performance.
Mike Smith, who passed away in 2014, chose not to sign the licence extension that would allow the BBC to repeat TOTP episodes he presented. The BBC continues to honour his wishes, so this episode hasn’t been repeated on TV since 2011.
