Angel — Cliff backed by the Jack Parnell Orchestra, this is a staged performance with The Malcolm Clare Dancers and Cliff dancing about ladders placed in a ring around the stage.
500 Miles — The Shadows .It is straight stage performance with the band standing around a microphone and while singing vocal harmonies and playing all acoustic instruments.
Sway — Cliff backed by The Shadows, this is a straight staged performance with the band all playing acoustic instruments.
My Blue Heaven — Cliff backed by the Jack Parnell Orchestra
Big 'B' — The Shadows. It's essentially a Brian Bennett drum solo; Brian is on a raised platform playing drums while other Shadows are on side playing and dancers dance between them.
I'm Lookin' Out The Window — Cliff Backed by Jack Parnell and His Orchestra, this is the first of the performances in the white wooden buildings with the love lost and found theme. Cliff sings the song while "looking out the window" of the building front while lamenting over a little broken styrofoam heart. He ends the performance by exiting the door and carefully fingering the heart, before noticing The Shadows as they start their next performance behind him.
You've Got To Have Heart — The Shadows.The band is standing in front of a fake "Heart Makers" store. The band is obviously miming their performance as they are playing fake heart-shaped instruments. Near the end of the performance, Cliff brings over his broken heart and the band helps him by giving him a new, unbroken heart.
Friends — Cliff backed the Jack Parnell Orchestra and The Shadows (on backing vocals only), this is a song and dance ensemble with Cliff and The Shadows performing around the counter of the "Heart Makers" shop. The song is taken from the Aladdin And His Wonderful Lamp pantomime.
I'm On My Way — Cliff backed by the Jack Parnell Orchestra | Comment [+] added to event by Shadnor SUBS

The Time In Between — Cliff backed by The Shadows, Cliff wanders about the trees outside the house stage and ends the song by walking to the front door.Cliff wanders into the house and looks around at all the decorations and marvels at the statuary (played by the dancers) along the walls. He ends up looking at a grandfather clock, which leads into the next song.
My Grandfather's Clock — The Shadows.
Do You Want To Dance — Cliff Backed by The Shadows. This is a very strange rendition of the song. On stage, The Shadows join Cliff and the dancing statues and they perform a slower, almost waltz/country version of the song. Cliff dances with Joan Palethorpe or Audrey Bayley (it's unclear which) throughout the performance.
To end the statue/house scenario, a jazzy instrumental by Jack Parnell and His Orchestra plays while Cliff with his lady statue (again, Joan Palethorpe or Audrey Bayley) along with each of The Shadows who also find a female partner, return to the alcoves. They all, including Cliff who takes the woman in his arms, become statues again and the scene ends.
Little Princess — This song is performed by The Shadows. It features The Shadows (minus Brian Bennett the drummer) sitting on stools at stage left while dancers dance to the tune in front of three giant guitar props.
Moonlight Bay — Supposedly backed by Jack Parnell and His Orchestra, Cliff sings and dance with Audrey Bayley and Joan Palethorpe using hats as props in a choreographed performance. This might actually be a mimed performance to the studio recording used for the Holiday Carnival EP, but it's slightly different. It is a perfect match, including all vocals (Cliff's and the backing) and instrumentation, up until the very end. Where the studio recording fades, the version here diverges, repeating the final chorus three times before it has a non-fading end. This might actually be a previously unreleased edit of the studio recording.
Wonderful Land — The Shadows
The Minute You're Gone — Backed by The Shadows with Hank and Bruce joining in on harmony vocals, this is a straight stage performance of the song. | New event added by Shadnor SUBS

All Through The Night — Cliff backed by The Shadows
All Through The Night — The Shadows only, this song has no Cliff involvement (despite the fact that it was performed with Cliff earlier in the show). It features a choir backing and may have been a lead-in performance to another song, but the audio used for this review is of such poor quality that this remains unclear.

Comment by Shadnor SUBS: The March 2nd Cliff show was the third in the six part 1961 series. It featured two special guests, Terence Holderway Hale and Lyn Cornell. Cliff sang a duet with Terence Holderway Hale on the song Beauty And The Beast in a comical manner. Lyn Cornell sang a solo performance.

Comment by Shadnor SUBS: There was a six part series, simply titled Cliff, for ATV that was hosted by Cliff in early 1961. It ran for six consecutive Thursday evenings on ATV and each show ran approximately 30 minutes. They were all typically straightforward staged musical performances, without some of the comedy skits that were used on other specials.
All shows featured The Shadows and/or The Jack Parnell Orchestra on most all numbers. The Vernons Girls, a dance troupe, also featured on many numbers providing backing vocals and/or dancing. The Vernons Girls also performed several solo songs, with The Jack Parnell Orchestra providing the music. Each show typically included one special guest.
The February 16th show, the first show in the series, included Alma Cogan as the special guest.

Comment by Shadnor SUBS: This Rediffusion TV special was produced in celebration of Cliff and The Shadows' tenth anniversary in show business. The title is an acknowledgement of that in an indirect manner. It refers to a joke in a song's count-in, announcing that the song will start "after ten", then yelling "ten" to take the others by surprise. The use of "ten" is in reference to this anniversary. The special has no other guests and features Cliff and The Shadows only. Musical backing is by The Shadows and/or a Norrie Paramor orchestra for many songs, although some are mimed to the original studio recordings only.
The program is a mixture of new performances, clips from previous shows, and abridged versions of various songs and performances. There are two parts to the program. The first is a take off on Cliff and The Shadows as old men, looking back on films of their career and talking about how they got started. It's all done tongue in cheek, and footage from several old shows is show, as well as several new skits. The second half is mostly staged song performances with a few comedy skits between. For the live performances heard in the program, the drums are by former Shadows drummer, Tony Meehan, rather than Brian Bennett as Brian was ill.
