It is a show called Studio Downbeat introduced by somebody called Raymond Boyd and was part of a fifth anniversary celebration of the station in August
1962. It was broadcast from the then studio Theatre Royal in Hope Street Glasgow.

It's probably best remembered for the regular appearances of Bert Weedon and Muriel Young, but I have an idea that Ollie Beak (voiced by Wally Whyton?) might have been in it as early as 1962.
I'm not so sure that George remembers a Beatles national TV appearance from 1962, though. They certainly appeared several times (two, maybe three) in late 1962 on Granada TV's local magazine programme "People And Places" (fronted by Gay Byrne and Bill Grundy), but that was not shown on Scottish TV, or anywhere else outside the Lancashire/Yorkshire (and adjacent counties) region. Neither was it recorded for syndication.
