    All-American Boy John Davidson – a little-known (in Britain) 27-year-old American country and western artist who was a cross between Glen Campbell and Pat Boone –  starred in this British-made series, filmed at Elstree Studios and produced by ATV and the American ABC network.

    The thirteen episodes cost £60,000 each, and Davidson was joined each week by French singer Mirelle Mathieu, Aimi MacDonald and American comedian/impersonator Rich Little. Other regulars were the Mike Sammes Singers, Jack Parnell and his Orchestra, and the Irving Davies Dancers.

    Guest stars included Mama Cass, Ruth Buzzi, OC Smith, Barbara Feldon (of Get Smart fame), Robert Morse, Joey Heatherton, Lynn Kellogg, David Steinberg, Phyllis Diller, Paul Anka, Lana Cantrell, John Hartford, The Dave Clark Five, Lulu, and The Moody Blues.

    The show was broadcast in the UK on ITV and in the US on ABC from 30 May to 5 September 1969.

    Davidson returned in 1976 for a short-run NBC series and again from 1980 to 1982 in a long-running US series also called The John Davidson Show.
