When:

Short story:

Status Quo perform their current single Down Down on weekly UK tv show Top Of The Pops. The show is hosted by Jimmy Savile.

Full article:

Francis Rossi (Status Quo) : We did Top Of The Pops and, shortly afterwards, went to France on tour. The BBC wanted us to come back and do the show again, but our management said we couldn’t.

The BBC retaliated by not playing it the next week but we still went to Number One, so they had to. It was our only Number One in England, if only for a week.
