I found out some information about Wester, who appeared on 'Crackerjack' on 15 November 1968. He wasn’t a singer or a member of a band. He was a shadow puppeteer on the variety circuit. He also appeared in ‘Tricks ‘n’ Nixon’ in 1963 and on ‘The Rolf Harris Show’ in 1969.

I haven’t been able to find any information about an audio bootleg of this ‘Colour Me Pop’ performance. I hope it exists.
On a related note, I had a look at the BFI Collections Search database and I saw a listing for a clip called ‘Julie Driscoll: This Wheel’s On Fire’. This is a performance from ‘Late Night Line-Up’ broadcast on 23 November 1968. The Julie Driscoll ‘Colour Me Pop’ episode was broadcast on that date. Is this an extract from the Fairfield Hall concert?
The clip is 3:30 minutes long and a videotape can be requested for viewing at the BFI.

I’ve found a few more names in newspaper listings:
08 Oct 1967: Robert Morley 15 Oct 1967: James Coburn, Nyree Dawn Porter 22 Oct 1967: Fyfe Robertson 21 Nov 1968: Julie Rogers
According to a ‘TV Times’ item, Dennis Price was a guest on a Series 4 episode, but I haven’t got a precise date.
I saw a few images from ‘The Eamonn Andrews Show’ on the Instagram page of the Thames TV archive. It appears that Michael Caine, Joan Collins and Clint Eastwood were guests in episodes broadcast in 1968, but the photo captions don’t contain precise dates.

Thank you for two things Mark. 1) For your help in collating the guests list from Your list....My list and the list from TV Brain. 2) The brilliant story of the fued between Zsa Zsa Gabor and Peter Cook. Finally how did you get access to the Montreal Gazette ? Thanks William, I found the Montreal Gazette article on Google Books. There’s an option on there for searching magazines and newspapers. You need to select ‘Search Tools’ and then press the ‘Any Document’ button to access a drop-down list of options. It’s an excellent free resource.

I’ve found some information about the confrontation between Zsa Zsa Gabor and Peter Cook, which took place on the edition of the ‘Eamonn Andrews Show’ broadcast on 09 January 1969.
The Reuters News Agency issued an article about the episode, and this was picked up by several Canadian and American newspapers. For example, here’s an extract from ‘The Montreal Gazette’ (10 January 1969):
The show was placid and friendly until Miss Gabor, sitting nursing a white cat, was asked to describe how she pictured herself. “I am a prude” she said. “I love animals and of course because I am a woman I like jewels, clothes and men”. Then Mr. Cook was asked what he thought of Miss Gabor. “You are vain, untalented and a complete non-event” he said, “and if you really liked animals you would not have brought that creature here under the television lights”. As the show progressed with Andrews trying to change the subject, Hungarian-born Miss Gabor’s fury mounted. “Who is this young man?” she broke in at one point. “Why have I never heard of him? Why did he insult me like that? Cook replied: “I was asked my opinion of you and I gave it”. “You cannot be very talented yourself otherwise you would recognize talent in others and you would not have said I was untalented”, bit back Miss Gabor. “Anyway, why don’t you get your hair cut? It makes you look effeminate”, she advised. The show closed with Miss Gabor still glaring dagger at Cook.
Did any Canadian or American TV news programmes ever feature a clip from this episode?

Hi William,
The dates I gave above are for the Border region only, so further information about these might not be available in Scottish libraries.
I think 'Beatwave' was only shown on STV on the following dates:
20 March 1967
11 October 1967

The Goodbye Abc type show that Diddy Hamilton did had a few seconds of Kenneth Williams on the Eamonn Andrews show. I think it's otherwise wiped. I think the Kenneth Williams clip from 'Goodbye to ABC' is from an 'Eamonn Andrews Show' from 25 June 1967. As far as I know, the rest of the 25.06.67. episode exists as audio only. On YouTube, there’s some 'Eamonn Andrews Show' footage on an ABC Winter preview (late 1967/early 1968) which was also presented by David Hamilton. It contains brief glimpses of Harry Secombe, Dudley Moore, Raquel Welch, Sir John Barbirolli, Linda Thorson, Bob Hope and Mary Tyler-Moore. There’s also a short interview clip with Warren Mitchell. I think some of this footage may exist in a compilation (dated 03 May 1967) which is held at the BFI.

I had a look at some newspaper listings and it appears that 'Beatwave' (sometimes listed as 'Beat Wave') was a short music programme that Border showed on an occasional basis. I found listings for the following dates:
29 September 1965 25 December 1965 24 December 1966 26 December 1966 11 October 1967
Anglia and Scottish TV broadcast a couple of episodes each and I think Grampian showed it once.
I haven’t been able to find any more details regarding guests or production credits.

An audio recording exists of the Beatles' appearance on the Eamonn Andrews Show, but I haven't been able to find it online. However, there's a transcript of it at beatlesinterviews.org
