I remember watching this on the BBC when I was 15 years old and became a lifelong fan .Sadly BBC TV did not preserve it but the audio turned up in 2021 and became available on cd and later vinyl .
" My name is Petula' " is a medley which emphasised Petula's International stardom and how different countries messed up pronouncing her first name "Typically English" was a clever song written by her friends Anthony Newley ( who she appeared with in some of her childhood films and in 1974 would open for her at Caesars Palace Las Vegas) ) and Leslie Bricusse who would the following year write the music for her film "Goodbye Mr Chios " with Peter O'Toole which was released in 1969 .During the song (with modified words ) Petula would act as a demure typically English girl and then she took off her outer gown to reveal a mod mini-skirt which was all the rage at the time .
Other songs included her her current U. K. #1 hit written by Charlie Chaplin., her Grammy winning American #1 hit Downtown , " My love'" (which made her the first British female singer to top the American charts twice ) "How are thing in Glocca Morra " from her forthcoming Hollywood film "Finian's Raunbow" , and a show stopping performance of "Just say goodbye " for which she wrote the music .
