Hi John,
Unfortunately, I can't (yet) answer your question, as 1971 is one of the years that I still have to get a lot of NME's and Disc's for, but I managed to get this info for some other shows that are (not) mentioned in "Lost Shows"...
31/10/70 Anne Nightingale
07/11/70 Richard Barnes
14/11/70 Stanley Unwin
28/11/70 Bobby Bloom
05/12/70 Kes Wyndham,Tony Christie
12/12/70 Labi Siffre
19/12/70 Tin Tin,The Equals
P.S. I will look at 1971 info at the library next week and hopefully find some answers for you.
cheers
William

John, I found this info about the 02/01/71 'EV Takes a Holiday' show in the TV Times...  unfortunately,the TV Times I have for the 13th March 1971 is the Midland/ATV region which did'nt appear to show "EV" so I will still try to get info on that show. cheers William |

Ev finished it's run with one episode into the new year (2nd January 1971) in the LWT region. Altough, as you say, Anglia seemed to be showing it in March 71, even though they'd kept pace with LWT. I'd recently been compiling some Ev information from the TV Times and newspaper sources, so might as well share it here. It's OCR'd, so excuse any typos.

KENNY EVERETT
THE BEE GEES
In this new series, Kenny Everett
looks at not only the pop music world
but at pretty well everything else.
Featured in this programme is the
first London appearance of the reformed
Bee Gees; a visit to Kenny's
ancestral home; a medieval joust and
a review of new record releases.
As usual Kenny is supported by his
wrinkled retainer Crip, and aided by
the advice of Granny.

Many viewers have written to ask
Kenny where he gets all the jingles that
introduce the various parts of the show.
In fact, they are made by Kenny in his
radio studio which you will remember
seeing in the first show of the series.
It has everything that a sound broadcasting
studio needs - record players,
tape machines, cassettes, echo equipment
and all the paraphernalia to produce
sound tricks, which he makes to
order each week.
Kenny's visit to the Model Engineering
Society in a previous show caused
a lot of interest. If you're organising
any strange event or happening, to
which you think Kenny might like to
bring his film unit, write to London
Weekend Television, Station House,
Harrow Road, Wembley, Middlesex.

Ev Takes a Holiday
Kenny Everett is taking a holiday at
Skegness with some of his friends,
some very large dogs and the inevitable
camera unit. And, to brighten the long
iourney to Lincolnshire with some
music, there is singer Charlie Crane,
formerly of Amen Corner and Crying
Shame
What will he find in Skegrsess? Where
will he stay? What will he eat? Will
he win or lose on the gaming tables?
What sort of exciting women will he
meet?
We predict that he will meet the 28
ladies of The Skegness Landladies'
Lark (which includes seven landlords)
who are about to go on a tour which
begins at Barnsley and, they hope,
will lead them to the London Palladium.

I stand corrected. It was screened on Anglia on the 13/3/71, so was probably one of the earlier episodes from the LWT run?

I'm just running through TX dates now. It appears I was also wrong about Anglia being behind. Not having a good day am I? lol.
I've corrected the post above. I'll see if I can work out what went on with Anglia.

It looks as though there were definitely some odd, out of time Ev transmissions on Anglia. As is usually the case, these queries often throw up more questions than answers. Anglia usually followed the London network feed when they weren't doing their own thing and it's something they continued to do throughout the 80s too. However, they kept step with LWT on Ev and subsequently Stewpot in the same 5:10 slot*, but then screened another episode of Stewpot the week after the show finished on LWT. This could be a newspaper misprint though.
I've added a list of LWT and Anglia Ev transmission dates below. It's more than likely that the extra episodes on Anglia in March '71 were repeats from earlier episodes in the series, maybe the October episodes? That would have allowed a gap of six months between the first run and the repeat.
I'll be interested to see what William uncovers after his trip to the library.

The compilation is all a bit vague really, apart from Pickettywitch at the end performing Baby I Won't Let You Down. It would need some supporting production paperwork to be completely sure, or someone who has a good memory of watching them at the time of transmission. From memory, some of the sections were as follows: Ev on Harrow Road, Wembley, and just outside the Stonebridge Park LWT offices at Station House (Now Wembley Point) putting custard pies in the faces of passers-by to the accompaniment of Rolf Harris' Bluer Than Blue. Ev then custard pies a Rolf cutout in the studio as an award for the worst single ever. Ev in his home radio studio, introducing a short film he made to accompany The Hollies - Gasoline Alley Bred. Ev on a farm yard, accompanied by the song Patches. Ev out in the countryside on a ramble, fascinated by a spider and it's web. Ev explores a brand new Pan-Am Jumbo Jet. There's a film sequence, filming a long-distance lorry driver in a garage to the song Go North by Richard Barnes,(looks like LWT's Wycombe Road, Wembley, O.B garage and studio, where Ev was recorded) Ev features an escapologist in the studio who's dangling upside down. Ev claims he could do it and has a go. It's So Easy by Wishful Thinking plays in the background. I'm sure there's other bits I haven't recalled, but quite a bit of stuff there for now. If anyone else was at the Kaleidoscope screening, feel free to fill in the blanks. |

Here's a readers letter from the
Disc and Music Echo dated 14th November 1970
(CONGRATULATIONS to Kenny Everett and his new ITV show "EV." Here's one ex-Radio 1 DJ who's shown he can live without the BBC,unlike the others he left behind. And his cartoon illustration of Vanity Fare's "Carolina's Coming Home," featuring no less than a picture of Radio Caroline itself, was something he'd never have got away with at the BBC. Who said Caroline was forgotten?)

Looks like some items I recalled as 'Kenny Everett explosion' must have been 'EV'. c. Sep - Oct 1970:
'The Hens March' Fairport Convention set to section of experimental film by Ian Emes. This is the same film Filmfinders supplied for OGWT and featured an animated object looking cross between a twirly top and striped circus tent revolving over a film slide of greenery and woods. The same film appears in a few existing 70s OGWT editions.
'Tears of a clown' Smokey Robinson. Set to a film where Everett is dressed Robin Hood style as the Pied Piper. He has pointed boots, a triangular hat and is blowing a tin whistle and skipping through a large park. Behind him is a trail of actors dressed in life size rat costumes in 'Can-can' type formation. They approach a hillock which has a section like a maze enclosed in a railed fence around it. Everett guides them into the maze through visible double gates.
Third memory was Xmas 1970 as recall Dad was putting up lights on our Xmas tree. I thought this was a Saturday. This show featured LABI SIFFRE as guest. Everett is sitting in a black walled studio. On one side was a set of double doors which he would pull open to show CSO'd images of old movies. He would react i.e. if a monster was behind he'd go 'arrgh!' and shut the blinds holding them closed with back turned against it. One image was King Kong from the 30s movie, another a Cyclops monster and a third a preview for a 1930s 'Ben Hur' adaption with Roman soldiers on chariots coming at the screen.
Everett seemed to cross legged on a low chair like beanbag then the camera panned to different part of studio on left where Labi Siffre was sitting on a stool. Siffre wore a silky paisley shirt and had a folk guitar. Track performed was SMILE FOR ME from his debut album.
The same room seemed to crop up again in KENNY EVERETT EXPLOSION c. Mar 1971. Here he had the addition of Crisp the Butler. Crisp would walk on with a metal tray with a small slip of paper on it, bow down and Everett would unfold the paper and read a message from it. Crisp also brought on 'the golden ear award' which was a giant model of an ear painted like the GOLDEN SHOT phones on a stick on a plinth. I was sure I saw this image since the time but can't place where.
