Het bloemenmeisje van Shocking Blue is deze week de hoogste nieuwe op nummer 30. Monika van Hans Dieckman/Ulli Martin komt binnen op nummer 41. De melodie is gebruikt voor het nummer Veronica van het Veronica team. De tune van Tom Collins (ook Veronica) komt binnen op nummer 47. En James Brown komt binnen op 50 in Hot Pants. De eerste (komende) hit van Mouth & McNeal is deze week een van de twee treiterschijven. Hoe de achternaam van Sjoukje precies gespeld moest worden was blijkbaar niet helemaal duidelijk. Ook Hurricane Smith heeft z’n primeur in Nederland en wel met de andere treiterschijf : Don’t let it die.

Deze Top 50 kun je hier beluisteren:

The RNI memories of Michael Downing for this week in August 1971

 

Saturday 14 August 1971

Today's Super Top 50 show is introduced by Joost de Draaier, now back from Japan. The programme from 16.00 to 18.00 on Saturday is now hosted by Peter Holland.

Today is the anniversary of the introduction of the Marine Offences Act in the UK, so there are a number of references to it in the International service programmes this evening, which are:

 18.00 Andy Archer

 20.00 Crispian St John

 22.00 Mike Ross

 24.00 - 3.00 Tony Allan

Andy Archer plays a Britain Radio jingle in his show and Crispian St John plays a Radio Scotland jingle after Tony Allan has read the news. Mike Ross also reads some of the news bulletins today.

A mobile discotheque show today features Peter Holland and Mark Stuart, although Crispian St John is on the promo.

 

Sunday 15 August 1971

There is a new programme schedule for Sunday for the International service, which is:

 18.00 Tony Allan (Top 50)

 21.00 Andy Archer (In Concert)

 22.00 Mike Ross (Hitback Show)

 23.00 Crispian St John

 24.00 - 3.00 Tony Allan

The Top 50 show today is a special chart, compiled from the Top 50s of the past six months. The Top 10, with their points (50 for number 1, 49 for number 2 etc.) are:

 1. Oscar Harris and the Twinkle Stars - Soldier's Prayer (658)

 2. Mieke Telkamp - Waarheen Waarvoor (618)

 3. Waldo de los Rios - Mozart 40 (589)

 4. Sandy Coast - True love that's a wonder (529)

 5. Ike and Tina Turner - Proud Mary (514)

 6. Wilma en Vader Abraham - Zou het erg zijn lieve opa (509)

 7. Sweet - Funny Funny (497)

 8. J Bastos - Loop di love (486)

 9. Jose Feliciano - Che sara (483)

 10. Rolling Stones - Brown sugar (477)

This was followed by the two smash plays and the hitpicks, although for some reason the hitpicks of Crispian St John, Leo van der Goot and Joost de Draaier were missed out.

The "In Concert" programme will feature two acts each week and the first programme today features the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

 

All of the DJs have been given nicknames by Andy Archer, which are:

 Mike Ross - Toad

 Leo van der Goot - Lion

 Tony Allan - Mink

 Mark Stuart - Weasel

 Crispian St John - Sloath

 Dave Rogers - Stoat

 Ferry Maat - Hyaena

 Peter Holland - Ferret

Andy himself is, of course, the Dancer. Crispian St John, Andy Archer and Tony Allan read the news.

 

There are two mobile discotheques today - the one in the afternoon has Ferry Maat and Dave Rogers as DJs and the one in the evening has Ferry Maat and Mark Stuart.

 

Monday 16 August 1971

Very strange happenings today. Andy Archer and Tony Allan are not featured at all in today's programmes, which are:

 18.00 Mike Ross

 20.00 Crispian St John

 21.00 Mike Ross

 22.00 Crispian St John

 24.00 Mike Ross

 1.30 - 3.00 Crispian St John

News is read by Mike Ross, Crispian St John and Hans ten Hooge.

 

Tuesday 17 August 1971

Ferry Maat has some new jingles made for him by Crispian St John and Mike Ross. The programme schedule is the same as yesterday and news is read by Mike Ross, Crispian St John and Hans ten Hooge. Still no mention of Andy Archer or Tony Allan.

 

Wednesday 18 August 1971

It is reported today that Andy Archer and Tony Allan have been sacked because "they didn't fit in with the rest of the team". They left on Monday. The programme schedule continues as yesterday and news is read by Crispian St John, Mike Ross and Hans ten Hooge.

 

Thursday 19 August 1971

A new DJ arrives on the Mebo 2 today - Paul May from Washington in the USA. Dave Rogers also returns today and Mike Ross goes off on shore leave. This evening's progeammes are:

 18.00 Dave Rogers

 20.00 Paul May

 22.00 Crispian St John

 24.00 - 3.00 Dave Rogers

However, the medium wave and short wave transmitters leave the air at 20.00 and, although scheduled to return at 21.00 after adjustments, they remained off the air. Although the reason was given as transmitter adjustments, it may have something to do with the new transmitter that came on board today. Crispian St John reads news and a mobile discotheque today features Mike Ross and Ferry Maat.

 

Friday 20 August 1971

All transmitters are back on the air at 6.00 this morning. Mark Stuart returns to the Mebo 2 and starts on what is now his own show from 18.00 to 20.00. Otherwise the programme schedule is the same as yesterday. Dave Rogers and Crispian St John read the news, whilst a mobile discotheque features Peter Holland and Mike Ross.
