The Swinging Blue Jeans sing "Don"t You Worry ‘Bout Me"
Kent: Hello, Brian Matthew.
Brian: Hello, Kent.
Kent: Isn't it great being a movie star?
Brian: Yeah, but you wait till you see that nose and colour.
Kent: Yes, er...
Brian: Right. Let's meet Clem Cattini, Jimmy O'Brien, Stewart Taylor, Brian Erwin, Ray Randall. Five names that add up to the Tornados.
The Tornadoes play “Blue Blue Blue Beat”
Brian: And as the Tornadoes come out of orbit, let's hit the ground with the sound of The Animals and Baby, Let Me Take You Home.
The Animals sing “Baby, Let Me Take You Home”
Alan: Hi there, pop pickers. Well, Kent's asked me to introduce the next number, and it's a great one from Brian Poole and the Tremeloes, Someone.
Brian Poole and the Tremeloes sing “Someone”
Kent: Here I Go Again from The Hollies.
The Hollies sing “Here I Go Again”
Kent: You're no good.
Alan: I'm no good. What have I done now?

Brian: Two of the Beatles, John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote the next number “Like Dreamers Do”. And now we'll hear it like the Applejacks do.
