 "(RSG)" was first broadcast in August 1963, coinciding with the rise of the Beatles in Britain and internationally.As one historian of television reflected in the 1970s, "the revolution had the greatest possible effect on television ... and hindsight commentators were to see the year (1963) as a line of demarcation drawn between one kind of Britain and another".With its slogan, "the weekend starts here", "RSG" was shown on Fridays from 6 to 7 pm.
