Hosted by John Benson as host Brian Mathew was snowed in at his home in Kent. Guest DJ Sam Costa was also unable to get the studio due to the bad weather, while singer Ronnie Hilton who was to appear as a singing guest filled in for Costa. Billy Fury cancelled a personal appearance as he was recuperating from a kidney operation, so was replaced by Tommy Steele who was to perform Butter Wouldn't Melt In Your Mouth. Steele then himself cancelled due to film commitments, and by late December 1962 Fury's booking was back on, but may have cancelled again, this time due to the weather situation. The Springfields had to cancel due to their car not turning up to take them to the studio

Southern Day By Day 6.05 -
The Beatles interview (cancelled due to band member illness).
Southern Television had prepared for a fan invasion so boarded up the glass doors and windows, had members of staff (including their weatherman Trevor 'the weather' Baker) dressed as decoy Beatles complete with wigs, while police had been deployed inside and outside the building. Director Mike Mansfield took the call that they weren't appearing and had to break it to their fans waiting outside. All five of them.
