===Television series=== [[File:Fanclub1965Lulu.jpg|thumb|right|Lulu performing "Leave a Little Love" and "He's Sure The Boy I Love", on Dutch TV-programme ''Fanclub'', 11 December, 1965]] In the late 1960s, Lulu's pop career in the UK thrived and she had several television series of her own. Her first BBC series aired in 1965 on BBC2, where she co-hosted ''Gadzooks! It's The In-Crowd'', with [[Alan David (singer)|Alan David]], completing the run as solo host under the rebranded ''Gadzooks!'' In 1966, she made regular appearances on BBC1's ''Stramash!'' After appearing again on BBC2 in 1967, in a successful TV series ''Three of a Kind'', that featured music and comedy, Lulu was given her own BBC1 TV series in 1968, which ran annually until 1975 under various titles, including ''Lulu's Back in Town'', ''Happening For Lulu'', ''It's Lulu'' and ''Lulu''. The series often featured resident guests, including [[Adrienne Posta]], [[Roger Kitter]], [[Paul Greenwood]] and [[Pan's People]], along with dance troupes choreographed by [[Nigel Lythgoe]] and [[Dougie Squires]]. The 1972 series was billed as ''It's Lulu... Not to mention Dudley Moore'', with [[Dudley Moore]] and his trio appearing in each of the thirteen shows. [[Bernie Clifton]] was her resident guest for the last of the BBC series, airing from January to April 1975. Her BBC series included music and comedy sketches and appearances by star guests. One episode, from January 1969, is remembered for an unruly live appearance from [[the Jimi Hendrix Experience]]. During that appearance, after playing about two minutes of "[[Hey Joe]]", [[Jimi Hendrix|Hendrix]] stopped and announced, "We'd like to stop playing this rubbish and dedicate a song to [[Cream (band)|Cream]], regardless of what kind of group they may be in, dedicate to [[Eric Clapton]], [[Ginger Baker]], and [[Jack Bruce]]." Hendrix and his band then broke into "[[Sunshine of Your Love]]". The studio director signalled for Hendrix to stop, but he continued. Hendrix was told he would never work at the BBC again, but was unrepentant. He told his girlfriend Kathy Etchingham: "I'm not going to sing with Lulu. I'd look ridiculous."<ref name=Hendrix>{{cite book |last=Cross |first=Charles R |title=Room Full of Mirrors |year=2005 |publisher=Hodder & Staunton |location=London |isbn=0-340-82683-5 |pages=242β243}}</ref> Concurrently with her TV series, Lulu also hosted several "one-off" specials.
