Description. Six-Five Special was the BBC 's first attempt at a rock-and-roll programme. Its title was derived from its broadcast time, as it aired at 6:05 on Saturday evening. It began immediately after the abolition of the Toddlers' Truce, in which programming ceased between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. so that children could be put to bed.
Six-Five Special was broadcast originally from Lime Grove and later from the Riverside Studios alongside the Thames in Hammersmith and soon built up a huge following of over 8 million viewers which led to a 1958 feature film (6.5 Special), two stage shows and a concert version.
