With its slogan ,"the weekend starts here",[3] RSG was shown on Fridays from 6-7pm.[4] Its original presenter Keith Fordyce, of the BBC Light Programme and Radio Luxembourg, was joined in 1964 by Cathy McGowan.[5] McGowan, recruited as an advisor from 600 applicants, had been in the fashion department of Woman’s Own. She is said to have secured the role in a "run off" with journalist Anne Nightingale, later a disc jockey on Radio 1, by answering "fashion" to a question from Elkan Allan (1922-2006), RSG's executive producer and head of entertainment at Rediffusion,[6] as to whether sex, music or fashion were more important to teenagers.[7] By Christmas 1965 McGowan's name was coupled with rising singer Jonathan King in a roll-call of stars on The Barron Knights' record, "Merrie Gentle Pops":
Andy, Sandie, Pitney, Proby,
Cathy McGowan and Jonathan King.[13]
The following summer McGowan was among celebrities - "a more glittering line up of guests could hardly be imagined" [10] - at the opening in June of Sibylla, a nightclub close to Piccadilly Circus in London.

I well remember that opening!
