Help! Audio of The Beatles track
Twist and Shout was played over the closing credits. Adam Faith's song
What Do You Want? had reached number 1 in the
UK Singles Chart in 1959, but was the first number 2 record of the 1960s. Tom Jones also had to withdraw from the recording at short notice, resulting in the inclusion of a 29 February 1968 performance of his song from
Top of the Pops. This footage was a
film recording in monochrome and was shown on a giant screen in the studio, with the audience dancing to the soundtrack. Horst Jankowski appears in a film insert shot in a snowy landscape in West Germany. The Rolling Stones were not present for the recording either. Their performance was recorded (in colour) in another studio without an audience and cut into the final edit. The Rolling Stones song
Gimme Shelter was the only track included in the show that had not been a hit single but instead an extremely popular album track. The Beatles performances were also archive clips, taken from the 1966 documentary film
The Beatles at Shea Stadium. Although presented back-to-back, Sandie Shaw undergoes a costume change between her two performances. Most of the full programme recording has survived in the archives, together with out-takes and a re-recording of The Shadows performances. The show has been repeated on both
BBC Four and
The Yesterday channel in the UK and often on other European stations. Due to rights issues, the repeats have often been forced to omit The Beatles footage. In 2015, the most recent repeat on BBC Four was edited to remove all appearances of Savile due to the sexual abuse revelations about him and subsequent Operation Yewtree investigation. Each song originally introduced by Savile (shown in a completely random order compared with the original production) was introduced by an on screen caption. Elfi von Kalckreuth still appeared in the edit. ==References==
