In the edition of 13th November 1965, during a discussion on censorship, the critic Kenneth Tynan became the first person to say "fuck" on British television. This created a national sensation, as Tynan intended it should. However, moderator Robert Robinson and fellow-guest Mary McCarthy were entirely unshocked, Robinson commenting that Tynan had "chosen an easy way to become famous".
A further attempt at a follow-up to "That Was The Week That Was" after the unsuccessful "Not So Much A Programme, More A Way Of Life", this was even less popular and lasted just one season. Two years elapsed before the BBC's final attempt at Saturday-night satire, "At The Eleventh Hour", which was something of a disaster.
