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.
