Due in at the end of the month from a South American tour - Herman's Hermits, badly in need of a new single, though their albums are keeping them in the charts.     The Hermits will fly to Miami on December 1 to start rehearsals for a guest shot on "The Jackie Gleason Show," to be aired in January.

PETER NOONE (Herman of Herman's Hermits) plays the title role in "Pinocchio" on BBC-1. Burl Ives also stars in this special, which was filmed at the Walt Disney Studios in Hollywood, and originally screened by U.S. TV last Christmas.
