Brian Matthew (presenter, Thank Your Lucky Stars] : Their popularity is so fantastic that we can't even let them on the set unless I announce them in a special way. I can't bring them on in the normal way. Instead of talking for a few moments in a way that makes it obvious who the next act will be, I have to chat about something completely different and then, out of the blue, suddenly throw in, 'And here are The Beatles.'
Then, and only then, can we let the boys come into the sight of the audience. If we were to do it the ordinary way, the screams would drown my words completely. If I made it obvious that The Beatles were next – well, the roof would probably fall in with the din.
We like to make sure that our stars escape in safety from the studio, and there have been times when I thought this was going to be impossible. Obviously, The Beatles provided us with the biggest worry. No less than three thousand fans waited, in pouring rain, to see Liverpool's Kings Of Beat. To this day, I don't know how we managed to get them out in safety, but we did.
