Was this show series fully networked?

If not, which tv regions showed it?

Which time slot in the tv schedule was this show shown?

Did the time duration of the episodes remain constant or did increase as it went through its run, allowing more performers to appear in the later episodes?

If anyone can find any article or background information about For Teenagers Only, that would be good to see.

Thanks

In the Midlands Steve Brett & the Mavericks were the first local group to make a TV appearance. Here they are seen receiving instructions from producer Reg Watson, during rehearsals for For Teenagers Only. Mair Davies can be seen alongside Reg Watson.

found an episode that is not in the TV Brain List

here it is under

Adam Faith Self on IMDB


Self
- Episode dated 19 December 1963 (1963) ... Self

TV POP DIARIES forum member Tony Rees certainly has an entry for

Thursday 19th December 1963
ATV For Teenagers Only 6:40 - 7:00 also on Southern

Steve Brett and the Mavericks (resident group)
but no Adam Faith - so it looks like Adam Faith IMDB is one up on tv pop diaries for this date!

John if you click on the name of the artist on your imdb link, it will take you to the artist and if you press Self at top, you will find the date of the episode the artist was in.

Wow ! brilliant research there John (Thank You)

[markdixon]

I had a search on the British Newspaper Archive and a few other sites and here’s what I found out about ‘For Teenagers Only:

It was an ATV production and it was shown in the ATV, Southern and Channel TV regions. The programme was 20 minutes long. ATV broadcast it on Thursdays from 6:40 – 7:00. It appears that episodes were often recorded a week before transmission.

I found details of guests that haven’t been mentioned previously in this thread:

08/08/1963: Yvette Weldon (?) 
29/08/1963: Les Stevens and the Satellites
05/09/1963: Cliff Richard
03/10/1963: Mark Fayne and the Astronauts performed ‘I Believe’
31/10/1963: Q Martin and the Sabres
??/??/1963: Janice Nicholls
??//??/1963: Carl Wayne and the Vikings
30/01/1964: Denny Seyton and the Sabres
18/06/1964: Jason Ford, Kenny Ball
16/07/1964: Billy Boyle
