There's nothing "faked" here, but that is Cream "miming live" on that show to their recording of "I Feel Free" from the record. It was very common in the day, one of the reasons being that even the recording engineers in Cream's studio didn't know how to properly record at those volumes at the time. The poor variety show engineers were at a serious disadvantage. All the backing vocals on that track are overdubs of Jack Bruce, and since it's mimed for this "performance," you couldn't be sure what Clapton is doing would produce what's in the audio.

That said, it would probably be easier for him to just pretend to play as he usually does rather than anything else, but you'd be better off watching an actual live performance if you wanted to truly correlate what you see with what you hear.
