From CTB:

02-05-70 – ‘The Simon Dee Show’ (UK): DUSTY SPRINGFIELD - Morning Please Don’t Come [with Tom Springfield]

03-05-70 – ‘The Simon Dee Show’ (UK): GEORGIE FAME

NOTE: I got the Dusty Springfield details from Paul Howes' 'The Complete Dusty Springfield' book, though I guess it is really 03-05-70 (several of the dates he uses in his book don't match other sources).

Interesting that you have a different date for Dusty and Tom Springfield compared to Paul Howe's book, but is it possible that 'The Simon Dee Show' was broadcast on different dates in different ITV regions?

[markdixon]

‘The Simon Dee Show’ was part-networked, and I think each episode was shown on the same day by the regional ITV companies. Some episodes were broadcast live, while others were probably recorded a few hours before broadcast. There were sometimes slight differences in broadcast times across the regions.

It’s possible that Dusty and Tom Springfield had to cancel their appearance on the 26/04/70 show at the last minute. They may have appeared on the following week’s show instead.

‘The Simon Dee Show’ wasn’t broadcast on 07 June 1970 and 14 June 1970 because of World Cup coverage. However, there was a special early-evening programme broadcast on ITV on 14 June 1970 in which Simon Dee interviewed the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Appearing on British television for the first time in 1970, John Lennon and Yoko Ono were among the guests on the fourth programme in new series The Simon Dee Show.
The 50-minute show was broadcast by London Weekend Television on 8 February from 11.25pm. It was filmed at Studio One, Wembley Studios, London.
Lennon and Ono brought black rights activist Michael X with them, and other guests included actor George Lazenby. The host was former disc jockey Simon Dee, who had interviewed The Beatles on several previous occasions.
Among the subjects for discussion were James Hanratty's legal case, the controversial Bag One lithographs, nudity and the Two Virgins cover.
Talk then turned to race issues. Michael X spoke of his gratitude to Lennon and Ono for donating their hair to The Black Centre. Lennon reveals that Sotheby's have declined to sell the hair because "they only sell art".
