This is Esther's first solo show, after the duo series earlier this year.
Now she performed several songs on her own, including "Aquarius" and " Lazy Afternoon", which have never been released on any media by her.
Chaim Topol was a special guest, who sang a duet with Esther and also performed two solo songs.

"This was scheduled to be shown on Sunday 18th August but it was decided to bring it forward two weeks to trump 
her appearance on the David Frost show on London Weekend. It was then decided to bring it forward to 11th August instead."

Tonight's Show of the Week presents for the first time Cinderella without her Rockafella-Esther Ofarim in her first solo show. The delightful, faun-like Esther will be singing a whole range of songs-from the Beatles' number she's made her own, ' She's leaving Home,' to two numbers from the American smash hit musical Hair."
