Additional information

Benny, Björn and Tim Rice were interviewed briefly by John Craven about Chess.  The first of the five Chess in Concert tours would take place in London that night (and I was there!).

The young audience around them were dressed up for Hallowe'en.

As with all guests, Benny, Björn and Tim offered a prize and it was a fantastic one - the new Chess album, a Chess cassette, Chess sweatshirt and also the chance to go to Stockholm for the Swedish concert the following Thursday, a visit to the Polar Music Studios and the chance to do a spot of shopping in Stockholm on Friday.  Viewers had to answer the question, "Who is the current world Chess champion?".  The prize was for one Saturday Superstore client (ie. a child) and one adult, both with current valid passports.
