This is all the information I have about the series: 

“Gazette” was a live 40-minute Saturday night chat show that was shown in the ABC region only. James Lloyd was the host. The Scaffold performed a 5-minute improvised sketch each week based on newspaper headlines. Actors Sheila Fearn and John White also appeared in these sketches. Roger McGough read his poem “Summer with Monika” on one episode, but I don’t know if The Scaffold performed any songs during the series.

Here’s a list of some of the musical guests:

22 February 1964: The Caravelles
7 March 1964: Adam Faith, Jackie Trent
14 March 1964: Cleo Laine
21 March 1964: The Caravelles - “I Like A Man”
28 March 1964: Bern Elliot and the Fenmen
11 April 1964: Freddie and the Dreamers

Jim Reeves, Them, Lulu and the Luvvers, the Kinks, Manfred Mann and the Spencer Davis Group also appeared, but I haven’t got the precise dates.

Non-musical guests interviewed by James Lloyd included Patrick Macnee, Barry Humphries, Spike Milligan, Jonathan Miller, Fenella Fielding, Rolf Harris, Barbara Kelly, Bernard Bresslaw and Peter Cook.
