Christmas Show (1975)

After no regular shows at all in 1975 and no Christmas Show in 1974, the pair made a welcome return with a memorable festive offering. The opening routine features the much maligned Des O'Connor. The show concludes with the historical romp Nell Gwynne, with Diana Rigg in the title role, and Gordon Jackson parodying his own character from Upstairs, Downstairs. Over the course of the programme, Robin Day has his "friendly" discussion turned into a brawl at the end of the programme, as Morecambe and Wise close with the song Positive Thinking. The show also features a parody of Big Spender with the two as dancers.
