A Whole Scene Going On
A Whole Scene Going On was the first real teenage
lifestyle program with features on Carnaby Street fashions, the
London club scene and package holidays in Italy.
Twiggy made her first TV appearance on this show and presenter
Barry Fantoni's "hot seat" interview was the first time
TV took rock ideas seriously.
Pete Townshend famously discussed drugs, and tempers flared
when producer Mickie Most refused to answer Fantoni's questions.
The show was axed after just one series - in mysterious
circumstances that still attract libel writs - and replaced
shortly afterwards with Simon Dee's chat show, Dee Time,
which quickly became a must-do gig for pop groups with records to
sell.
