Nearly, nearly there. What were your favourite bits of this wonderful year?
Actually that's from this.
Odd to see something as old as Norden's "Alright On The Night" overlap a genre as not-as-old as a talking-heads time-filler. Was this the first of its kind? Who cares? And was this a wonderful year? In many ways of course it was as grim as a peeled cat in a pram, but let's not dwell, it's still December the 27th, John Finnemore wrote a sketch about that and it's in his Holiday Special from Series Six which was repeated on the radio today, and I'm in it too, and so of course are all those turkeys who voted for Christmas. I never blogged about that series I now realise, not even about the musical. Oh well. The producer did, including a number of photographs of us in Santa Hats, standing at a poignant distance. Series Seven starts on January the 4th. YES! PLUGGED SOMETHING BEFORE IT HAPPENED! Enjoy, my lovelies.
not this wonderful year
Update: I have just learnt from twitter that Margaret Cabourn-Smith calls this period, between Christmas and New Year's, the "Merry-neum". What did you learn from twitter today?
I absolutely love the 'December 27th' song from the Holiday Special, and the Good King Wenceslas sketch too. If series 7 of JFSP is anything like the previous one - and from what I've gathered from the try-out and the recording I went to, it's definitely going to be - it's going to make for a cracking start to the new year. Happy Whatever-Margaret-Said.
