'Hello. Brian Johnston here, and on behalf of Hullabaloo and Custard, welcome to Southend.

'It's not raining. It's very blustery, but it is a fine night.

'For the next 15 minutes, BBC 2 is being launched with a bang.

'I'll try my best to tell you something about the fireworks you're going to see and hear.

'If your dog's in the room with you, we don't consider this as a suitable programme for him or her.'

APPLAUSE

This programme is in black and white. In our opinion, it is not suitable for children,

or for those of you who may have a nervous disposition.

# If the song

# Of the songbird

# Could replace my wrong word

# Then, my dear

# That's the song I would borrow

# And tonight, you would hear the saddest song of the year

# And you'd be mine once again

# Come tomorrow

# If the song of the swallow

# Could reveal my sorrow

# Then, my dear He would sing just for you

# And tonight you would hear the saddest song of the year

# Come tomorrow

# Sing, sing, sing, sing! Sing, Mr Songbird

# Come on and sing, just one little swallow... #

It looks like as far as tomorrow and Wednesday is concerned,

most districts are going to stay dry.

Very few, if any showers at all, are most likely in some northern districts of Scotland.

And, if anything, temperatures should start to rise once more.

So a little warmer in the outlook and staying dry with some sunshine.

Anyway, more about tomorrow's weather from me just before six o'clock. Until then, cheerio.

I mean as we sit here, tonight,

-in practically every home in this country...

-Mmm.

-..this thing will be switched on.

-Yeah.

And it will occupy, for most of the people,

the evening hours.

Anything to say about that at all?

It's a potential social menace of the first magnitude.

-Is that exaggeration?

-Not in my eyes.

# I live in an apartment on the 99th floor of my block

# And I sit at home looking out the window imaginin' the world's stopped

# Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up just like a Union Jack

# And says I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack

-Hey You You Get off of my cloud

# "Don't hang around cos two's a crowd on my cloud, baby"

# The telephone's ringing I say, "Hi, it's me. Who's it there on the line?"

# A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you? Well, I guess I'm doin' fine"

# He says, "It's 3am, there's too much noise, don't you people ever wanna go to bed?

# "Just cos you feel so good, do you have to drive me out of my head?"

-# I said, "Hey

-Hey You You Get off of my cloud

-# "Hey

# "Don't hang around cos two's a crowd on my cloud, baby"

# Yeah!

# I was sick and tired, fed up with this and decided to take a drive downtown

# It was so very quiet and peaceful There was nobody, not a soul around

# I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream

# In the morning the parking tickets were just like flags stuck on my window screen

-# I said, "Hey

Brian Poole and the Tremeloes. Last time we said we'd show you how to bring up a hedgegog.

Now, the first programme in a new series.

A Whole Scene Going is a weekly show, 30 minutes long,

that aims to reflect the taste and times of Britain's under-21s.

In tonight's edition, pop singers sang, Hayley Mills was interviewed and a trust of young celebrities

gave advice to a teenager with a problem.

"I'm 14. Dave is 17.

"We've been going out with each other for some time.

"The only trouble is that Dave is the double of Phil May of the Pretty Things.

"His hair's about the same length and style and he wears the same things as Phil,

"though not on purpose. When Dave and I are together he often gets torn to bits by screaming girls.

"I've tried telling the girls it's not Phil May, but they just look at me as if I'm a nut. Yours..."

Jonathan?

I can't understand it. I know a girl whose boyfriend looks like Jonathan King and she never has any trouble.

# I've never seen the people I know

# In the bright light of day

# So how can I say

# That you're any friend of mine?

# And I'm feeling fine

# Well, that's my time

# Midnight, Midnight to six Midnight, Midnight to six

# Midnight, Midnight to six Midnight, Midnight to six

# I sleep through the day

# And I rise about four

# But I always feel down

# I never get off the floor

# Till night comes around

# Take in some sound

# That's my time

# Take in some sound

# Tell me some more

# Midnight, midnight to six Midnight, midnight to six, hey

# Midnight, midnight to six, hey Midnight, midnight to six, hey. #

Well, that's all from Closedown tonight.

We've certainly had ourselves a ball here.

Can we come again tomorrow night, maybe round about 7.20 in Line-Up?

And now, at one minute past midnight,

may I wish you on behalf of everyone here on BBC2, a very good night.

This was BBC2.
