Trivia
There was no episode of Top of the Pops the week before, on 20th November 1969, due to the Apollo 12 moon landing.
This was the first episode of TOTP to broadcast in colour. If the Apollo 12 landing had not occurred the week before, TOTP would have been transmitted in colour as the BBC started regularly broadcasting in colour on the 15th November 1969.
This episode exists in its entirety only as a domestic audio recording in a private collection.
