Jack Good falls ill with a mild case of pneumonia bought on by the sheer exhaustion and grueling demands of the last three weeks.

A milestone week in Cliff Richard’s life. After just 2 appearances on "Oh Boy!" he was offered his first national tour supporting the Kalin Twins beginning on Sunday 5th October. Looking for professional musicians to back him he went to the 2 I's coffee bar in London's Soho district where he met Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch who became the new Drifters ( later The Shadows).

Within weeks the new Drifters were backing Cliff on “Oh Boy” and Hank and Bruce later appeared as vocal artists in their own right too.

Cliff Richard returned for his 2nd appearance to sing the B side of his new single, "Schoolboy Crush" (originally the A side, until EMI swapped the sides over) backed by the Drifters, the Dallas Boys & the Vernons Girls.

Dudley Heslop, who had appeared in the two trial Oh Boy! shows in June, makes his first appearance under his new guise of  'Cuddly Dudley'.  Marty Wilde, although listed to appear, lost his voice and so did not in fact sing. His place was taken by Vince Eager.

Note that although TV Times lists The John Barry Seven as appearing in this episode, the NME stated just beforehand that they would not.  Wilde, Eager & The JB7 were also due to appear on a package tour concert at Burnt Oak, that evening. However, if Eager & The JB7 did appear on Oh Boy! that evening, they could not have arrived at Burn Oak in time for the first house.
