I was browsing the Getty Images website and stumbled across a great period photo of Anne Nightingale 'Disc jockey and presenter of the Rediffusion TV music show 'That's For Me' reclining on her stereogram (as one so often did in those days):
A check with TV Pop Diaries reveals the series enjoyed a single run from December '64 to March '65. As Rediffusion already had one very significant pop show on the go in the shape of RSG, I'd be interested to know what the format of 'That's For Me' might have been. Did the shows overlap in terms of tx dates- if they did, then 'That's For Me' must have offered something significantly different. I'm guessing it was more of a 'straight' studio show. The inclusion of people such as Daniel Farson, Sydney Tafler, Alfie Bass, Harry Fowler etc suggests there may have been a chat or comedy element of some kind. Also interesting to note some real veteran performers in the shape of Jessie Matthews, 'Hutch' and Randolph Sutton - possibly passing comment on today's pop scene.... who knows?

It looks like nothing has survived, so it's the usual depressing story of yet more lost UK 60s music performances.
